Daniel Crépault

Dr. Daniel Crépault knows addiction because he’s lived it. At 17, he was a high school drop-out who used drugs daily and had already been in trouble with the police. Today, he’s 15 years sober and has a PhD in Criminology. This transformation happened because he got help from Harvest House Ministries, a drug treatment program in Ottawa with 40 years of experience treating addiction. He is now the Program Director at Harvest House and spends his days helping addicted young men change their lives as he did. Dan is living proof that with the right treatment and guidance, an addict can tap into potentials they never knew existed and that they can live an incredible life.
