When to Seek Help for An Addiction
Recognizing the early signs of your addiction can help you increase your chances of a successful recovery.
Matthew Perry Foundation Created to Help Those Struggling with Addiction
Actor Matthew Perry was a successful actor and comedian who rose to fame with his role as Chandler on the hit show “Friends”. Sadly, he passed away on October 28th 2023, after years of battling substance abuse addictions. While the exact cause of his death is still pending “additional investigative steps”, it is widely believed that his long-term health issues, resulting from his addiction, contributed to his death at such a relatively young age (54).
To help others who are struggling with addiction and substance abuse, a new foundation has been set up in Matthew Perry’s name, with the mission stating, “The Matthew Perry Foundation is the realization of Matthew's enduring commitment to helping others struggling with the disease of addiction. It will honor his legacy and be guided by his own words and experiences and driven by his passion for making a difference in as many lives as possible.”
