“He’s Lived It. Now He Leads It: A Conversation with Ross Martin”
Ross Martin knows this work from the inside out. As Director of Transitional Services over the Oasis program, the halfway house that anchors CADAS’ continuum of care, Ross walks alongside clients in one of the most fragile and hopeful chapters of recovery: the return to everyday life.
For ten years, Ross has poured himself into CADAS, but his connection to the mission runs deeper than any title. He has lived it. That lived experience shapes the way he leads, the way he listens, and the way he meets people exactly where they are. He understands recovery not as a theory but as a daily, human act of courage, and he carries a genuine heart for the people who walk through the doors at CADAS.
In this conversation, Ross shares what transitional recovery really looks like, why the bridge between treatment and independence matters so much, and what a decade of this work has taught him about hope, dignity, and second chances. His clients are lucky to have him. So are we.
