I have a passion for helping people improve their lives, and I have exercised that passion in the treatment and recovery industry. And while I have worked in outstanding facilities, I felt there was room for improvement .... so I opened my own with the focus on the "guest."While working in other treatment facilities, I found inconsistencies (staff and counselors not “walking the walk,” preferential treatment, etc.) that adversely affected those who were seeking help. I found that handling the “details” such as atmosphere, food, cleanliness of facility, treating people with dignity and respect and a staff having a caring attitude was almost as important as the program. If the "guest" is not treated with dignity and importance; how do they build it in themselves??I made a decision to build a treatment facility I could be proud to own and worked hard to move the idea from a concept to a reality. First, I acquired my master’s degree in healthcare administration emphasizing residential substance abuse treatment. I then worked with a team of doctors, psychologists, licensed mental health counselors and former clients to create it. Our top priority when developing our program and treatment center was the "guest." We focused on giving each guest the best possible chance of recovery.I applied my observations & learnings to my facility: Gulf Breeze Recovery. I knew we could create a better way. While we are very proud of our facility and get excellent grades from our guests, we consistently take an inward look at ourselves and our program to assure we avoid complacency and are always working to improve.That is why we can proudly say if you or someone you know is in need.... Gulf Breeze Recovery ..."Because it Works!"
