Doug Albano
Doug's own personal experience and ability to rebuild and repair his own financial wreckage spurred the idea to create a financial recovery program to help persons in recovery face their own financial wreckage. Doug praises the Team at the Hills for recognizing the importance of this principle in recovery and providing the necessary resources for all clients of the Hills to clean up their own personal wreckage.
Doug's groups focus on helping addicts repair and clean up their credit, file and update tax returns, learn the discipline of budgeting, and maintaining and developing sound financial principles. The ultimate goal of all the groups is to help ease any financial pressures the client may have presently or in the near and distant future. Doug's experience and guidance helps ease financial stresses and create a solid recovery foundation for each client. The key is for the client to communicate these fears and make sure that they never again equate their self worth with their net worth. "The Past Does Not Equal the Future."
