Being born and raised in a small border town, Ricky Hill was used to not having resources. When he found out about Rise Recovery, his eyes lit up because it was literally everything he wanted as a teenager. Ricky struggled with mental health from a very young age, which then led to substance and alcohol use. Ricky says working at Rise allows him to fulfill his purpose on a daily basis. Ricky works as a Telehealth Peer Recovery Coach for the South Texas region. “My heart fills with joy when I see the progress that the youth make.” His sobriety date is June 17, 2020. Some hobbies Ricky enjoys are baseball, song-writing, and playing guitar. He also enjoys hanging out with his friends, and talking with his family.
