Dispel some myths for us. What is one common misconception about addiction that you would like to clear up?
I know you are closely involved in Axiom’s Substance Use Disorder Urgent Care. Tell me more about this. What is it and who is it for?
Substance Abuse not only affects the individual, it can take a toll on the entire family. What advice do you give to people who have a loved one either struggling with substance abuse or about to enter treatment?
With an inspiring redemption story from methamphetamine addiction and prison to a long-term recovery and a successful career, Christi Kleckner is the embodiment of empathetic care. Christi serves as the Executive Director at Axiom Care, showing up every day with a passion to care for the patients. Christi knows first-hand just how hard (and just how rewarding) it is to be in recovery. Christi struggled with a methamphetamine addiction that took almost everything from her, and spent a lot of time in and out of jail.
Christi’s history of substance use is not unlike most in Arizona, as methamphetamine is the state’s number one drug threat (especially as street prices drop). She proudly shares her Department of Corrections (DOC) number because it makes her relatable to many others in recovery looking for their second chance as well.
Christi experienced the apathetic care that most recovery centers give and was even told, “You’ll be back here” while in jail. Eventually, being abstinent from drugs, she began working as a graveyard Behavioral Health Technician for a recovery center. However, it seemed that not enough people cared about the patients or their jobs – just the paycheck that came with it. Until she found Axiom Care. Christi seamlessly aligned with Axiom Care’s passion for holistic, long-term care and seeing patients find their second chances. Her personal experiences supported her in forming her leadership style and finding new ways to make a difference daily. Christi is passionate about transforming lives and reshaping the landscape of substance use treatment.
