A Safe, Trusted Guide for Families and Loved Ones

 

TruPaths was born from a place of deep love, pain, and purpose.
Our founder, Ryan Shuler, walked alongside his wife’s brother through the devastating world of addiction. What his family faced was overwhelming: fear, confusion, and a sea of misinformation. Like so many families, they were left navigating a confusing system full of conflicting advice, empty promises, and unethical treatment options.

Ryan saw how addiction doesn’t affect just one person, it impacts entire families, often leaving them desperate, isolated, and unsure where to turn. The search for help too often led to sales tactics, false hope, or shame. That painful experience inspired the mission behind TruPaths: to create a place where families and individuals can finally find trusted, ethical care without the pressure, fear, or uncertainty.

Today, TruPaths is here to bring clarity, compassion, and trust to the recovery journey. No one should have to face this alone. Every person deserves a safe, honest path forward, and we are here to help guide that journey.
