Shavonne Thompson is the Founder of Throttle & Thrive: a detox, substance misuse and mental health facility exclusively serving First Responders & Veterans. Shavonne is passionate about recovery and mental health because she is an alcoholic in recovery and has been sober since January 28, 2013.

Prior to launching Throttle & Thrive, Shavonne worked for 13 years in the commercial construction industry. She left her corporate career to pursue her passion of building a treatment facility. Since opening the doors, Throttle & Thrive has enabled first responders and veterans to defeat addiction, heal trauma and restore their families. Shavonne is also a USC Viterbi School of Engineering graduate and is originally from Ventura, California.
