It's The Fix's First Birthday!

The Fix marks the first anniversary of its launch today with a sense of gratitude and slight disbelief—has a whole year really gone by? Well, judging by all that's happened since we debuted last March with a juicy investigation of Scientology's Narconon rehabs, it really has. Not only have we produced a steady stream of features (here are your favorites from 2011), addiction news and Sober Living articles—we've also garnered widespread media coverage, expanded our Rehab Review and set up a free helpline, dedicated to finding addicts the best treatment out there.

And that's far from everything. To keep in close touch with what else is going on, make sure you follow us on Twitter, like us on Facebook and subscribe to our weekly newsletter too. But although the specifics of what we offer on the site have evolved, our mission hasn't: to be the best source of addiction and recovery news, information and service out there for our readers.

We'd like to say a huge thank you to all of you, whether you've been with us from the start or just found out about us recently. Without you, we simply wouldn't be here one year on. We've got lots of plans for our second year—with your help, we'll make The Fix the best it's ever been!

From all the staff at The Fix
