Born in October 1986 in Emmaus, Pennsylvania, Christopher “Chris” Dreisbach faced early struggles with addiction despite growing up in a supportive home with strong values. After numerous rehab attempts and legal issues, a compassionate judge directed him to a long-term treatment program in Lititz, PA, marking a turning point.

In 2010, Chris identified a need for stable housing in the Lancaster recovery community and established A New Life Sober Living, LLC. This initiative sparked a series of community-focused ventures, including a painting and repairs business and a real estate career. A New Life expanded to over 13 residences, providing opportunities for employment and skill development.

In 2016, Chris fulfilled his dream by founding Blueprints for Addiction Recovery, Inc., a behavioral health treatment facility emphasizing evidence-based medicine and community recovery principles. Starting with five team members, Blueprints has grown into a network of seven licensed facilities with over 130 full-time staff.

Beyond core services, Blueprints pioneered innovative community programs like SecondChancePA and Pathways to Recovery. Chris remains a thought-leader, exploring new initiatives and partnerships throughout the county. He co-founded various enterprises, including a real estate investment company, a community art gallery, a wrestling academy, and a food service company, aiming to create opportunities for others.

Currently, Chris hosts "A Night of Recovery: Live from the Moravian Center," a documentary featuring sobriety stories of wrestling stars Jesus “Ricardo” Rodriguez, Shannon Moore and Curt “Dirty Dango” Hussey. It is available on Prime Video, Apple TV+, and Google Play. He is also the host of a second “Night of Recovery” documentary that was filmed in Waynesboro, PA and he hosts "Repurposed," a series of recovery specials with guests like skateboarder Brandon Novak, activist Spike Cohen, musician Mike Miz, and former baseball pitcher Paul Fletcher. These documentaries also stream on the same platforms.
