Charlie Pleeter

Charlie Pleeter serves as the Executive Director of Avenues Recovery Center at Eastern Shore. Based in Baltimore, He holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Excelsior College, alongside formative studies at Ner Israel Rabbinical College in Baltimore. Initially on a path as a nursing home administrator in training, he shifted gears upon joining Avenues, where he found purpose and joy in supporting not only clients but also his team. This decision has been transformative for Charlie, shaping his outlook on life and deepening his gratitude for the positives in his own journey.

In his time working in addiction recovery, Charlie has observed that addiction does not discriminate; it erodes trust, self-confidence, and self-worth, leaving people feeling unworthy of love and appreciation. For him, the cornerstone of healing is empathy—providing unconditional support and care as clients work toward self-love and reconnection. He believes in fostering a strong foundation of trust, empowering clients to rediscover their value and helping colleagues find meaning in their roles.

Outside of his professional life, Charlie is passionate about personal growth and enjoys spending time outdoors. He loves playing with his kids and throwing around a baseball, bonding over time spent and special moments created together. Every day, he is committed to becoming a better person, appreciating his journey and lessons learned along the way.
