Selepri's Story

Selepri Amachree is the founder of the Xtreme Intervention Project. He has been drug & alcohol-free since February of 2000! (That's 23 years if you're doing the math!)  He spent 12 years in active addiction to alcohol, cocaine, and opioids. He says, "I can understand most people's struggle, but what I need, is to hear their story".

Selepri went through seven different short-term treatment facilities with no hope of achieving long-term sobriety. His addiction brought homelessness and serious legal problems into his life, but it was that path which led him to a long-term, faith-based program that changed his life.  He founded the Xtreme Intervention Project in April of 2006, wrote the Samaritan Intervention Model in 2010, and he stands by his belief that, "By the grace of God, everyone is capable of recovery and there are great rewards that come with that long-term commitment". His wife Danyelle, their kids, his music, and the Xtreme Intervention Project are great examples of the blessings and rewards of his commitment to long-term recovery and restoration. 

Selepri's 23 year journey in long-term recovery and restoration includes 17 years of experience as the founder and CEO of the Xtreme Intervention Project. As a leader in his profession, he has guided hundreds of people out of destructive, addictive lifestyles and into lifesaving programs that address the physical, spiritual, mental, vocational, and educational aspects of healing from substance abuse disorders and other life-controlling addictions.

"The simple truth is that I want to see success for everyone, but not everyone can see success for themselves. We have to cut through the fog created by the deception of addiction, so people can begin to get clarity on their path to success." ~Selepri
