Meet Our Team

Mary Hughes, LCAC-A

Mary Hughes has a passion for recovery. Over the years, she has seen the transformation that recovery can bring into the lives of those it touches. Prior to choosing the recovery world as her career path, she walked this journey with many people through a 12-step program and as a volunteer at Indiana Women's Prison, Fairbanks Recovery Center, and through working with homeless clients at Interfaith Hospitality Network. Inspired to share her experience in a more impactful way, Mary returned to school and earned her Master of Arts degree from Indiana Wesleyan in Addiction Counseling. She proceeded to obtain her license from the state of Indiana as a Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor.

While in school she served as an intern at Progress House, a recovery residence in Indianapolis for 100 men, and was later hired as a full-time employee. She continued her work with the criminal justice population when she became part of the team at Addiction Care Interventions in Franklin, Indiana. When Addiction Care joined forces with Cardinal Recovery, Mary welcomed the additional services and commitment to quality care that Cardinal was able to provide.

Mary has no doubt that sobriety is available to anyone who is willing to work for it.
