My name is Michael Allan. After a lifetime of addiction, I went to treatment for the last time in 2009. I went to college and earned my degree in Chemical Dependency Counseling. I have always wanted to give back and help people escape the chains of addiction. I started working at WSTC in 2016, volunteering for a year-and-a-half, at which time I was offered a paid position.

Le’Roy Smith, SUDPT

My name is Le’Roy Smith Jr. I am a Substance Use Disorder Professional Trainee working in the field of chemical dependency since April 2018. I started with West Sound Treatment Center in April 2018. Prior to West Sound I worked as a clinician in a Medical Assistant Treatment (MAT) program and a behavioral health program in Seattle, WA. I have an Associate Degree with a Certificate of Proficiency in Chemical Dependency and I also hold a Certificate of Recognition in Human Services-Case Aide from Olympic College. I am a Phi Theta Kappa member. I am a veteran of the United States Navy and have a personal history with a Substance Use Disorder. My passion for the position of a clinician comes from my own personal history of alcohol and substance abuse. Working in Seattle made me realize that I needed to be doing more for the community in which I live, Kitsap County, and where I have strong personal ties with the recovery community. I believe the only reason anyone should be looking down on another person is due to them offering that person a helping hand up or out of whatever has gotten them down.

After completing my required education and training, I look forward to supporting those in my community and helping them receive the care they need and deserve.
