🚨 A Major Moment in the Fight Against Addiction & Drug-Related Deaths 🚨

After nearly 10 years, authorities have captured Ryan Wedding, a former Olympic snowboarder from Canada who investigators say led one of the largest modern-day narcotics trafficking operations in North America and was on the FBI’s Top 10 Most Wanted list.

According to investigators, this organization was responsible for the distribution of staggering amounts of deadly drugs.

These substances have devastated communities, fueled addiction, and contributed to the loss of far too many innocent lives—especially our youth.

Today’s news is a powerful reminder that justice matters and that every disruption to the flow of these drugs can mean lives saved. While the damage caused can never be undone, this capture represents a meaningful victory in the ongoing fight against addiction, overdose, and drug-related violence.

At Horizon Renewal Center, we are deeply grateful to the local, national, and international agencies who worked tirelessly to bring this case to justice. Their efforts help make our communities safer and strengthen the hope that recovery and healing are always possible.

💛 Hope is stronger than addiction. Help is always within reach.

✨ From Hidden Struggles to Hope ✨

Justin Young’s story is a powerful reminder that addiction doesn’t always look the way we expect it to. What began as a way to cope with stress quietly grew into something more — hidden, isolating, and overwhelming.

His journey reflects a truth we see every day: substance use often starts as relief, but healing begins with honesty, support, and the courage to take the next step. Recovery is possible — and no one has to walk that road alone. 💛

At Horizon Renewal Center, we believe every story can lead to redemption for a new beginning.

Justin Young has always been driven. Growing up in Springdale as the son of an executive at Tyson Foods, Young wanted to make a name

On this Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we reflect on the power of hope, perseverance, and compassion.

Dr. King believed in the possibility of renewal — that no matter where you start, change is always possible. At Horizon Renewal Center, we see that truth every day as individuals take brave steps toward recovery, healing, and a brighter future.

Today, we honor his legacy by continuing to walk alongside those taking their first steps toward lasting change. 🤍

☀️ Start Your Day With Sunshine ☀️

One of the simplest ways to support your mental and physical health happens first thing in the morning. 🌅

Getting natural sunlight within 30 minutes of waking up helps:
✨ Reset your circadian rhythm
✨ Boost Vitamin D production
✨ Increase natural energy levels
✨ Support hormone regulation
✨ Improve mood and focus

This small habit tells your brain, “It’s time to wake up,” helping your body feel more balanced and energized throughout the day. When your body is in sync, everything feels a little easier — and happier. 💛

Step outside. Take a few deep breaths. Let the sun do its thing.
A brighter day can start with just a few minutes of morning light. 🌞

Today, we had the privilege of engaging with the 2025 Class of Leadership Fort Smith to share an inside look at the programs and services offered by The Guidance Center—highlighting, in particular, the transformative work happening at Horizon Renewal Center.

As our residential treatment program for substance use recovery, Horizon Renewal Center provides a structured, therapeutic environment where individuals can heal, rebuild, and move forward with renewed purpose. Through evidence-based treatment, dedicated staff, and restorative therapeutic experiences, Horizon supports long-term recovery and lasting change.

We also provided an overview of two additional services that play a vital role in community wellness:
• Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU) – delivering immediate support for individuals experiencing behavioral health crises.
• 24/7 Behavioral Health Urgent Care – ensuring accessible, around-the-clock behavioral health assistance.

We appreciate the opportunity to partner with Leadership Fort Smith and engage with emerging leaders who are committed to strengthening the well-being of our community.

Together, we can continue building a healthier, safer, and more resilient future for Western Arkansas.
