Daniel J Callahan, MSW Founder and CEO
Inspired by more than 20 years of recovery, The Last Resort recovery program was created for the peer facilitation of positive self directed recovery from alcoholism and drug addictions.
Founder Dan Callahan, For well over twenty years has been living a life of successful recovery. His journey began in 1980. For nearly eight years harm reduction was his goal. Long periods of abstinence followed by short bursts of tolerable use. But in 1988 he finally surrendered to the concept of total abstinence. Dan has an extensive human service background he has been involved in recovery based human service, alcoholism and substance abuse services, forensic services, case management with individuals recovering from mental health issues and recovery based program development. Dan played a significant role in the growth and development of Hands Across Long Island, Inc. the largest and most prominent peer run mental health agency in the United States. Dan is the co-author of a NYS training manual and program for mental health and correctional service professionals working with parolees with "serious and persistent mental illness".
Dan's experience encompasses Residence Manager of Bishop Ryan House, an adolescent home for homeless youth, the Program Director of Hands Across Long Island, Inc and the Executive Director of the Bishop Gerald J. Ryan Resource Center.
Through the years Dan has been fortunate enough to be mentored professionally by some extremely gifted folks. He was offered flexibility and latitude to attempt methods of engagement and recovery services that were outside the box of traditional treatment. It has been through that flexibility and experiences that the Last Resort Recovery Program has been created.
