10 Years of Addiction Recovery

Daniel's Story

“Waking up for a few sober minutes, face wet, embedded on a dirt ridden floor, in this abandoned motel in the middle of palm springs…I was crying in my sleep.  I needed to run from myself, instead I reached for another needle….internal combustible self-hatred. If I remained sober for too many minutes I would have to realize where I was and what I had become.” Click Here to Read Daniel’s Story

Our Beginnings

Committed to Helping Our Community

In 2012, after many outpatient and inpatient treatment centers, and years of an uphill battle with addiction, the Regan Family discovered the gaps in the current system and realized a need for diverse programs of extended aftercare. When Daniel Regan left the safety of his final 30 day rehabilitation center, he returned to his Monmouth County home as a timid 21 year old man, unsure of how to piece back together his life. He developed a recovery system for himself with the help of his mother, Lynn Regan. After successfully practicing this recovery system, others became interested and asked to get involved, so they too could sustain long term recovery. The Regan’s quickly realized this system was working and that everyone deserves access to an aftercare program. In 2012, they created HealingUS Communities formally known as CFC Loud N Clear Foundation, a New Jersey 501c3.

Since conception, HealingUS has assisted over 20,000 families struggling with addiction and has received numerous accolades and rewards for the innovative, ground breaking approach to recovery.

Ms. Regan was responsible for public relations and advocacy for Ocean, Monmouth and Mercer counties creating symmetry between multiple entities and was requested at public speaking engagements. In her position she has spearheaded the development of the CFC Academy licensed by the NJ State Certification Board offering CCAR Recovery Coaching, Ethics and NJ CPRS Certifications, Mental Health First Aid, CPR & First Aid, Narcan Administration and Interventions.

In 2019, her team, along with Hackensack Medical University Hospitals have proudly developed a model system of Hospital Peer Support, thus enhancing intervention crisis care for those individuals entering the Emergency Dept. of medical centers throughout NJ. Her vision and energy was dedicated to addressing the immense need for more treatment options for those covered by medicaid.
