April 5, 2023 – After losing custody of her kids due to one of his arrests, Chouinard injected meth for the first time.
“Within six months I was homeless living in a minivan and hopping around. I stayed in trap houses,” said Chouniard.
Eventually, drug court set Chouniard on a path to recovery. A recovery she credits in part to Kyros, a recovery management platform that allows users to find help with programs, transportation, meetings, and other resources.
“We know Minnesota does a really good job at treatment, they do not such a good job at recovery, what happens the year after,” said Larson, Founder & CEO of Kyros. Larson is three years into alcohol recovery. He used his background in tech and labor solutions to start Kyros. A key component of the company is providing peer recovery specialists to those in recovery and an opportunity to get back on their feet through a free job training program to then become a PRS themselves.
