In the face of certain death from his addiction, J.B. admitted himself to a treatment center 3000 miles away in California. While there, he experienced a different form of treatment that he hadn’t seen in the Midwest. After his time in rehab he stayed in California and began working in the addiction treatment field. Hotel California by the Sea is an organization where J.B. really began to see the innovation in substance use rehabilitation. With the blessing and support of the corporate office, he developed a business plan and brought this model back to his hometown of Cincinnati. In 2018 Hotel California by the Sea-Cincinnati opened for business and they are growing. He was met with a lot of opposition and criticism when he went on this quest, but this was fuel for his success. J.B. is an extremely driven individual and he takes us through his inspirational journey during his episode.
