Who We Are
We're not a corporation. We're a movement built by people who've been through it.
Dancing Against My Demons
“I didn't grow up thinking I'd be a recovery coach. I grew up fighting demons I didn't even know had names. Addiction, anger, abandonment, father wounds, failure. I didn't hit rock bottom—I just built a damn house there.”
I didn't need a pamphlet. I needed a purpose. So I stopped waiting to be rescued—and started dancing against my demons.

Everything you need to know about our group facilitation services and how to partner with DAMD Recovery.
DAMD (Dancing Against My Demons) Recovery staffs professional, certified group facilitators and recovery coaches into sober living homes, residential and inpatient treatment centers, and outpatient programs across Los Angeles, Orange County, and Southern California. Founded by Gabriel Chavez, DAMD transforms pain into leadership, addiction into accountability, and trauma into truth.
We serve Los Angeles, Orange County, and the greater Southern California area — including Pasadena, Burbank, Glendale, Santa Monica, Hollywood, downtown LA, and communities throughout Orange County. Our facilitators are available for residential treatment centers, outpatient programs, sober living homes, and PHP/IOP facilities.
Yes. Sober living homes are one of the main settings we staff. A DAMD facilitator can run your house's recovery groups — relapse prevention, accountability, and trauma-informed process groups — on a standing weekly schedule or as coverage for a gap, so residents get consistent, professionally led groups without the house hiring its own clinical staff.
