to 20 million Americans struggling with drug or alcohol addiction, and more than 90,000 overdoses in 2020 (up from 70,000 in 2019), there is clearly a major epidemic in our country that continues to grow. According to Medscape, drug overdoses have become the No. 1 cause of injury-related death in the United States.

Breaking the Chains of Addition Founded by Trey Lewis and Pastor Bobby Humphrey in 2017, Good Landing’s recovery program uses Christ-centered and biblically based treatments to break the chains of addiction, restore hope, and help clients experience lasting transformation. In just four short years, Good Landing has quickly grown to be the largest independent facility with a single location in the state of Georgia with 140 clients. Before starting Good Landing, Lewis served in the Air Force and has traveled the country preaching the gospel, leading outreach initiatives and inspiring thousands through leadership conferences. Attending 10 treatment centers by the time he was 25 years old, he knows firsthand how dangerous a life controlled by drugs and alcohol can be. After being set free from this life, he was filled with a passionate calling to tell everyone about the transforming power and love that is found only in Christ.
