Provider Spotlight: Drew Roletti, CADC — Bridgecrest Behavioral Health
In the recovery world, some of the most important work happens outside the walls of treatment centers — in the counseling rooms where people confront the patterns that have shaped their lives. This week, we're spotlighting Drew Roletti, CADC, a licensed anger management specialist and the founder of Bridgecrest Behavioral Health.
Meet Drew Roletti
Drew Roletti is a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC) and a licensed anger management specialist who has built his practice around a truth every clinician in this field eventually learns: substance use rarely travels alone. Anger, unresolved conflict, and destructive relationship patterns are often woven into the same story — and lasting recovery means addressing all of it.
That's the philosophy behind Bridgecrest Behavioral Health, the practice Drew founded and leads.
What Bridgecrest Behavioral Health offers
Bridgecrest Behavioral Health specializes in the areas of behavioral health that too many programs treat as an afterthought:
- Anger management. Drew works with clients to understand what drives their anger, recognize their triggers, and build practical tools for regulation and communication — skills that protect relationships, careers, and recovery itself.
- Batterers intervention. Bridgecrest offers a structured 52-week Batterers Intervention Program built around accountability and genuine behavior change. This is demanding, court-recognized work, and it takes a counselor with both the credentials and the temperament to do it well.
- Addiction counseling. As a CADC, Drew brings certified substance use counseling expertise to clients whose anger and addiction feed one another — which, in this field, is most of them.
Why we're highlighting this work
Here at Empower Next Project, our mission is to strengthen every layer of the recovery ecosystem — from the sober living homes listed on SoberLivingDirectory.com to the operators using Sober Living Companion to run better houses. But housing and structure are only part of the picture. People in recovery need skilled clinicians who can help them do the deeper work.
That's why providers like Drew matter. Residents in sober living environments often carry histories of conflict, court obligations, and relationships strained to the breaking point. A counselor who specializes in anger management and intervention work — and who understands addiction from the inside of the field — is exactly the kind of resource operators, case managers, and families should know about.
The bigger picture
Recovery isn't just about stopping a substance. It's about changing how you move through the world — how you handle frustration, how you treat the people around you, how you respond when life pushes back. Drew Roletti has dedicated his career to that side of the work, and Bridgecrest Behavioral Health is the kind of practice that makes whole communities safer and stronger.
If you're an operator, clinician, or family member looking for anger management or intervention services, Bridgecrest Behavioral Health is worth knowing.
