From
Addiction To Recovery
Mission Testimonial
“Addiction is real. It’s everywhere and affects all of us. I am proud to say that my youngest son is a recovering alcoholic, who has spent time in a number of facilities, receiving help to understand his condition and addiction. Love, support, education, understanding and finding a way to survive the complexities and challenges of life. Our children are our greatest treasure. Life can be so wonderful, but it can also be so painful. That’s what makes the joy so joyful – often times, the pain you have to go through. The challenge? How to navigate without relying on different substances to help you cope and get through life. These are real problems that many people from all walks of life face. Making that transition and helping people make that transition is important work. That’s why I am very pleased to support and assist the Will Bright Foundation.” – Auburn Head Coach Bruce Pearl
Our mission is to fill a need in the central/west Alabama area for a secondary form of recovery. Sometimes, people who have completed a recovery program need assistance in taking that very important “next step”.
This mission is being completed through Restoration Springs, our transitional center located in Fayette, Alabama. We call it “transitional” because our residents will be transitioning to a life not dominated by addiction!
- Offer scholarships to those unable to afford intake fees to recovery centers
- Provide next step/transitional living, counseling, job readiness training and placement
- Extend awareness, legislation and educational information on the Opioid Crisis through our Washington, DC Coalition Group, Voices for Non-Opioid Choices
Our Presence In Washington, D.C.

From Loss to Hope
Will Bright was a kind, caring friend to all – and also a drug addict. He tried so hard to overcome his addiction, but when he left rehab he had nowhere to go to get a fresh start.
He got into drugs at such an early age that he really had no formal training of any kind, beyond a high school education.
When you feel like you don’t have a purpose, drugs are an easy fix. You are always one decision away from disaster.
After going through numerous rehabs all over the United States, he just couldn’t shake his drug habit, and died of an overdose in 2012 at age 25.
His parents, Bill and Lisa Bright of Trussville, have decided to channel their grief to try to stop this from happening to anyone else.
Will and his mother, Lisa.

Why is Restoration Springs needed?
There is an unfilled need in the Birmingham/West Alabama area for a place for someone fresh out of recovery to live, receive spiritual support, job training skills, and find meaning and purpose to live a life free from the bonds of addiction.
40-60% of people who complete a rehab program suffer from a relapse. (source: www.drugabuse.gov)
