Our “why”
Our Founders Story
Working in recovery is not just a profession for me; it's deeply personal. With two decades in the medical field, I've witnessed the devastating impact of addiction, a disease that transcends its effects from the individual to their loved ones, spanning across generations. Addiction doesn't discriminate; it affects people from all walks of life, a lesson I learned firsthand despite a solid education and a supportive family.
My journey through the throes of addiction mirrored the struggles of countless others. The road to recovery was arduous, requiring a persistent fight for long-term healing. This dark experience transformed my perspective, revealing new insights into myself, the nature of the disease, and the human condition.
Recovery has been an enlightening teacher, providing invaluable lessons about resilience and self-discovery. Reflecting on my journey, I wouldn't alter a thing; it has become a pivotal moment in my life. Above all, I'm driven to share the joy that recovery can bring. My mission extends to helping others navigate that challenging first step, beginning with detox. I aim to ease this difficult period, recognizing that detox is just a small part of the healing journey. At Private Detox of Utah, we provide not only medical support but also empower you and your loved ones with resources and social support. Your success is our top priority, as we firmly believe that recovery is within reach for everyone. While addiction may change you, recovery has the power to redefine and strengthen you.
