Helping families find treatment and recovery resources

About Me

Beth Cunningham

My own personal and professional experience in the treatment/ recovery world has led me to help families find treatment and recovery recommendations, guidance through the process, and continued support along the way. I graduated from Loyola University in Chicago with a Bachelor of Science in Education before moving to Austin. I am a certified Recovery Coach and an active member of
Al-Anon. I have been married for over thirty-five years to my husband, Kelly Cunningham, and we have been blessed with four children. In 2013, I was instrumental in starting a nonprofit for struggling teens with substance abuse/addiction. As a founding board member and Director of Development, I spent many hours building community relationships, fundraising, and marketing. I am an active and passionate advocate for helping families with issues related to substance abuse. Through my own personal struggles with a child in recovery, I have learned how to navigate the challenges of the treatment world, and the many recovery options available.

Testimonials

  • “Beth Cunningham was instrumental in saving my son’s life and changing mine. Another mom highly recommended enlisting Beth to help me with my drug-addicted son. Beth took my call on a Sunday morning and listened to me with such kindness and interest. She was calm, wise, and very informed about addiction and all the family dynamics. I was so worn out. Her support was a lifeline in my sea of pain, confusion, fear, and exhaustion. She helped me find the right treatment for my child and, equally important, coached me about boundaries and applying the Al-Anon program for my own personal growth and peace. My son is now three years sober, praise God! She is helpful to me in navigating other family relationships also. I admire so much that she turned her own experience into an amazing service that truly changes and saves lives. My son really didn’t like her at first. He now knows that her coaching helped me to be a mom that supported sobriety and did not enable his addiction. This helped give him an opportunity to enjoy all the wonderful things life has to offer. ”

  • “I can’t imagine where we would be today without Beth Cunningham’s wise and compassionate guidance on addiction recovery. When I first reached out to her for help with my daughter’s alcohol and pill addictions, I was at my wit’s end. After a month in a recovery center, my daughter relapsed almost immediately. With Beth’s expertise, we found a recovery program tailored to her needs. Beth helped us understand the importance of avoiding enabling behaviors—a tough but necessary step. Through many phone conversations, she patiently guided us, helping us navigate our role in the recovery process. Her support was invaluable, always just a phone call away. Today, my daughter is two years sober, and we owe so much of that success to Beth’s wisdom and unwavering support. She truly made the impossible feel achievable.”

  • “Our son struggled with addiction for many years. We kept trying to help with no results-it was a cycle...addiction-relapse- addiction-relapse. We were watching our precious child kill himself, feeling completely helpless. Then, someone sent us in the direction of Beth Cunningham. We contacted her, she listened, and she got right to work. Within a couple of days, she had found us an in-patient treatment facility that was a good fit, set up an intervention, and most importantly was the support we had been praying for. During the time he was gone, she continued to check in and be a support. As his time in rehab was ending, she researched sober living homes, out patient programs, and referred us to a “Recovery Coach” that was a tremendous help, not only to our son but to us. Because she has been down this road, she truly understood what we needed. I can’t say enough good things about Beth Cunningham and would recommend her services to any one.”

  • “Beth Cunningham has been such a gift to our family! Our son had been through addiction struggles for many years when she came into our life. Thank goodness she did! She helped us for the first time to truly understand the addicted mind and the irrational assumptions and unfilled promises we were living under. Her advice, support and long distance love helped us as parents find the best rehabilitation resources and recovery programs to assist in our son's battle. Also, her guidance was so instrumental in helping salvage the sibling relationships in our family that were strained by his actions. We cannot say enough good things about Beth's knowledge and would very highly recommend her to anyone or any family struggling with addiction and in need of professional help.”

  • “Beth was truly a lifeline when my husband and I discovered our son was struggling with drug addiction 2 years ago. Beth was a knowledgeable, compassionate guide for us when we started down this road. I truly believe it is because of Beth that our son has been sober for 2 years tomorrow. She helped us find the help for him that he needed when he needed it. Beth was so trustworthy and she understood what we were going through because she had been there before; her compassion was palpable. He was able to start college in August and made up for a lost semester in high school. Thank you so much Beth!”

  • “Beth has not only provided tremendous assistance in selecting an appropriate Recovery Facility for our son, but has  continued to offer us support and advice, which at times proved to be difficult, but has proven to be absolutely correct and appropriate. We would encourage anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation, to reach out to Beth for and for advice and guidance, not only her professional expertise and experience, but for her personal understanding and desire to help obtain a successful outcome and provide a comforting voice during a time of feeling overwhelmed. She is truly a blessing to those who find themselves overwhelmed and not knowing where to turn next to obtain professional help, to assist individuals (and loved ones) dealing with selection of Addiction Recovery Programs and Facilities.”
