Benny

Benny Sanchez was one of the first to dive ambitiously into the Merch Program at NoHo Recovery. Born and raised in Riverside, California, prevalent violence in his home-life led him to find a circle of peers that he looked up to. Soon, constant pressure from his friends paired with a feeling of hopelessness led to experimentation with painkillers.

After an especially dark bout with psychosis, Benny checked into a psych ward, eventually landing in Los Angeles where he found NoHo Recovery. With sobriety restoring his knack for creativity, he jumped straight into artistic self-expression. Now he's able to take full advantage of the resources offered, displaying his character and identity through a collection of unique clothing.

Benny has now been abstinent from hard drugs since January 10th, 2024.
