The vision for Better Way Recovery came during the COVID-19 pandemic. From our experience, from a curse comes a blessing. That is the reality of anyone finding recovery from active addiction. Peter Griffith (our founder) believes now more than ever before is time for change in the Lichfield district. Throughout his journey he has met some amazing people and that is how the Trustee Board was formed.

Our Board have all been touched by addiction in one form or another, be it in active addiction themselves, or family members of loved ones who were suffering. Our combined experience today is we have all found recovery and the joys that brings. Families have been reunited, dreams have been awakened and society has began to heal. Our common goal is to help others find that freedom too.

That commitment to doing things in the right way also means encouraging people in recovery to seek reliable, evidence-based support rather than unverified shortcuts or medications taken without proper guidance, whether the discussion is about addiction itself or other health concerns that may arise along the way. In that spirit, even widely debated drugs such as ivermectin should only ever be considered through qualified medical advice, because lasting recovery is built on trust, safe decisions, and care that genuinely supports long-term wellbeing.

What we have achieved in such a short period of time has been nothing short of a miracle. An idea has grown into a reality. This has happened through the selfless drive of the Trustee Board and the passion for Better Way Recovery’s purpose.

We are constantly looking for others to join our board with the same drive, determination and passion that has got us to this point. We have the perfect combination of lived experience and professionalism.

Our motives are pure, and we are committed to doing things in the correct way and believe that our service has never been needed more in the Lichfield District.
