LCDC, SAP, ADC, Admissions Director

William, better known as Billy around here is head of our admissions team. If you inquire about any of our treatment services, you will most likely speak with Billy in some capacity. Billy is one of the most passionate people when it comes down to recovery. You don’t have to have a long conversation to understand how much he cares about helping others. A recovered addict himself, he knows how miserable it is for those and their families who suffer from alcohol and drug addiction. He has been a part of Bay Area Recovery Center since 2008. Billy is a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, Substance Abuse Professional and Board-Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor on a state, national and international level. Billy is married to his high school sweetheart of 35 yrs. They share two daughters and two grandkids. When there is ever a chance Billy is not working, he loves to spend time with his wife or on his back yard pier, fishing in Galveston Bay.
