Lawrence Keating
Larry, like many of the men and women he works with, is a Viet Nam Vet, having served from 1966 -1969. Also, like so many he serves, Larry came home dealing with the demons of war. Alcohol and drugs seemed the only answer and he fell victim to their call.
Fortunately, Larry was able to accept the help of his wife, Diana, and others in overcoming his addictions. Realizing that his experiences could help others that found themselves in addictive situations, Larry re-focused his career to help those with alcohol and drug addictions.
Larry attended Adelphi University to earn his Bachelor of Arts in Social Sciences and then his Master of Social Work Degree. Using his education, as well as his personal and field experience, Larry has made it his life’s work to help others climb out of the cycle of addiction to lead happy and productive lives.
Rising Tide Habilitation Services has been his dream, designed to help as many veterans and their families as possible. His mission is to empower veterans struggling with addiction by providing holistic and habilitative support that promotes recovery, resilience, self-sufficiency, and personal growth with ongoing mentorship.
