"Those who we have lost we remember through our recovery."

Steven H. Steiner 1981-2001

Steven passed away at the age of 19 to a drug overdose.

My name is Matt Brindisi and I am one of the founders of Transformations Treatment Center. I am also Steve’s brother. Steve passed at the age of 19 due to a drug overdose. It was the first time he had ever tried Oxycontin. The drug combined with being ill physically caused him to fall asleep and not wake up due to breathing complications while sleeping.

Steve was an amazing young man who had the whole world ahead of him. Steve had a bright future and was already an accomplished electrician at the age of 19. A couple of my greatest memories are playing knee football in the front yard of our NJ home or watching my little brother pitch a no hitter and win the championship game.

Stevie, you will be missed by dad, mom, Joey and myself. You are loved by all of us. I want you to know that you did not die in vain. Dad has started an organization to help in the war on drugs and I have chosen to help form TTC which is teaching and educating people on how to live drug and alcohol free. You are an inspiration to all of us at Transformations and those we help. God bless you and I love you.

-Your brother
