Charles Faris
Faris joined Spectrum as a counselor in 1971 and advanced through the organization as his career progressed. Faris was named president and chief executive officer in 2000.
"I am grateful to have spent 45 years with this great company, with an outstanding staff of professionals. It has been an honor to have had the opportunity to lead it for the last 16. As I transition to this new phase, I plan to stay active in the addiction treatment field, and will remain connected to all the wonderful people who have been involved with and supported Spectrum over the years," said Faris.
Faris was instrumental in helping the companies evolution from a single long-term residential program to a comprehensive continuum of care that has helped tens of thousands of individuals overcome addiction to lead satisfying and productive lives.
Faris has helped Spectrum become New England's leader in community based addiction treatment and a renowned provider of specialized treatment for criminal justice populations across the country.
"Chuck's contributions to Spectrum, and to the field of addiction treatment, will be felt for years to come," said David Felper, Chairman of the Board of Spectrum. "More importantly, for 45 years Chuck has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to our mission of providing the highest quality of care to people seeking treatment for substance abuse or mental health issues. The system's growth during his tenure allows us to fulfill that mission by helping thousands of people battling addiction get access to the treatment they need."
