Troy Barnes

Recovery Coach and Manager
White Horse Recovery

For the past two years, Troy has been working as a recovery coach and manager at White Horse Recovery in North Conway, NH. Although he already had years of sobriety under his belt when he came to White Horse, this career change marked a significant turning point for Troy. Before finding his own recovery, his life was dominated by substance abuse, incarceration, and wasted potential. After years of addiction and barely surviving overdoses, Troy was able to turn his life around, but was soon facing new challenges. He was stuck working dead-end jobs and was growing increasingly isolated. That all changed when he completed recovery coaching training and began working at White Horse Recovery. Troy is grateful and proud of this opportunity to help others discover their own hidden potential.

Mike GallagherMike Gallagher was born and raised in NH. He has a passion for sports and the outdoors. He dedicated much of his life to skiing and helping those with a desire to go fast meet their goals. However, addiction took hold, and denial stripped his accountability.

With strong support around him, Mike eventually accepted recovery. A college graduate, captain of a nationally ranked ski race team, and a dean’s list student, he realized he needed to surrender and ask for help.

Since entering recovery, Mike has rebuilt his life. He works at Riverbank and serves as a CRSW at Navigating Recovery of the Lakes Region, a nonprofit recovery community organization (RCO). He has spoken at the New England Health Summit for SUD, NH Juvenile Court Diversion Summit, and NHPR.

Mike believes peer-led activities and sober recreation were key to his recovery. He stays engaged through community outreach and facilitates a Parenting in Recovery class for men in Belknap County.

“There are multiple pathways to freedom from addiction—just pick one and give time some time. I’ve never once regretted waking up sober.”

Mark Stagnone, DC.,   | An on-the-job back injury while delivering office furniture led Dr. Stagnone to see a chiropractor, which achieved amazing results. He found chiropractic’s principles of anatomy and physiology to be consistent with the nerve physiology and human anatomy he was studying in pre-dental biology courses. Dr. Stagnone has had the immense pleasure over the past 30 years of seeing chiropractic help hundreds with their back and neck related problems. Yet even more pleasing, he has seen countless adults and children regain health from a variety of conditions.

As he learned to walk again, dependence on prescription pain medication morphed into heroin addiction. Darryl will share his experience with abstinence-only and harm reduction recovery approaches. Darryl is a husband and father to three adult children, and currently lives in the foothills of the White Mountains. He works when he is able, and shares hope beyond opioids for those who live with chronic pain and the brain disease of addiction.
