CWC Alliance

Christopher Wolf passed after a 14 year battle with opioid misuse and dependency. Like so many others, his battle with opioid dependency began with a prescription. Christopher was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in middle school. This diagnosis led to countless surgeries and a lifelong struggle with pain management the foundation of which was opioids.

When Christopher passed, Cammie Wolf Rice, his mother, transmuted her pain into purpose. She’s dedicating her life to preventing other mothers from the soul crushing pain of losing a child.

In 2018, Cammie founded the CWC Alliance (Christopher Wolf Crusade) to end opioid misuse before it begins. After all of the time that Cammie spent in the hospital with Christopher, she recognized a fundamental need for prevention. There was not one professional on Christopher’s medical team to educate him and his family about the risks of his pain medication. As a result, Christopher struggled with opioid misuse and passed away from it.

Our goal is to provide opioid education and resources as well as mental wellness skills training directly to hospital inpatients and outpatients to ensure they are well supported during recovery. This support is provided by CWC Alliance’s Life Care Specialist, a Care Coach who personally sees the patient through to recovery. In addition, CWC Alliance’s Be Well Program provides patients and their families with the resources necessary to ensure a substance-free future post-recovery.
