Percy Menzies,
Vice President
Percy Menzies is the president of Assisted Recovery Centers of America, LLC, a center for the treatment of alcoholism and drug addiction based in St. Louis, Missouri which was established in 2001. He worked for over 18 years for DuPont Pharmaceuticals, the company that developed naloxone (Narcan) and naltrexone. His responsibilities involved training physicians and other healthcare professionals on using these breakthrough non-opioid medications. As associate product director for naltrexone, Percy was involved in developing treatment protocols and policies to treat opioid and alcohol use disorders and bring treatment into the mainstream of medicine. He has worked closely with drug courts and provided training on the use of anti-craving medications for addiction to reduce recidivism within the criminal justice system. He has conducted workshops for a wide range of audiences both in the US and overseas on evidence-based treatments for substance use disorders. He has been invited to serve on expert committees to develop guidelines for the treatment of addictive disorders and alcoholism. Percy served two terms on the Missouri State Advisory Council for the Division of Behavioral Health.
Percy’s ongoing interest is developing prevention programs to protect patients from relapsing to alcohol and opioid use. Relapse is a major contributor to the increasing overdose deaths due to the widespread supply of drugs like fentanyl and increased abuse of alcohol-related to the isolation due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The prevention programs involve increasing access to medications like naloxone and naltrexone through community pharmacies to avoid harm from the effects of increasingly potent opioids. His particular focus on long-term recovery is providing safe housing and job training.
Percy holds a master’s degree in pharmacy and emigrated to the United States in 1977 from India.
