Justin McMillen is a recovery advocate and treatment consultant who specializes in abstinence-based recovery and wellness. After years of battling personal addiction, McMillen muscled his way to a healthy sober life. Set on helping others facing addiction he established Tree House Sober Living in 2008 and in 2013 McMillen founded Tree House Recovery, a male-only recovery partial hospitalization facility with locations in Southern California and Portland, Oregon.

McMillen and his team of treatment addiction counselors, team leaders, therapists, and physical health specialists provide an innovative medication-free process to treat addiction that is comprehensive, effective, and sustainable.

Tree House Recovery’s innovative approach to addiction treatment focuses on the mind/body connection to build sustainable, healthy lives. Their eight interconnected modalities work together to treat the whole person. The cumulative result is a highly effective program focused on healing the individual.

At Tree House, abstinence is simply a jumping-off point. In order to sustain change, men are encouraged to find lives that they are excited to lead. The Tree House team is a highly collaborative unit that works together to offer each client the most effective care available.

Over the many years spent working with thousands of recovering addicts and alcoholics, McMillen began to understand the inherent flaws in the treatment industry, primarily the disheartening fact that this field had come to accept very low standards and outcomes of care. The behavioral health field’s failure to treat this massive social epidemic with even moderate success was the catalyst for Justin’s vision that became Tree House Recovery.

Tree House Recovery uses a creative variety of today’s most successful approaches, which provide their clients with a highly structured and intensive program featuring individual and group counseling, literary therapy, experiential therapy, exercise therapy and personalized treatment plans.

McMillen is a true visionary with a steadfast commitment to bettering the world around him. McMillen’s plan for Tree House goes far beyond their facilities; his work includes transforming the way substance abuse treatment is thought about, talked about, and conducted across the nation.

He has been working professionally in the world of fitness and holistic wellness for 30 years (although he is such great shape that you would not know his age!). Boris is highly skilled and trained in various disciplines and brings 110% to each client.

Boris began his training in yoga, meditation, and spirituality as a small child, in West Berlin, Germany. The Martial Arts were the next area that grabbed his attention and drove his passions. When he was 13, he began working with weights in the gym. Boris first moved to the U.S., as a foreign exchange student, a year later and continued his studies of the Martial Arts and his further developed his devotion to the gym. When he was 20, he moved to the U.S. Permanently, to pursue bodybuilding. He learned from some of the industries best names.

Boris won First Place, in his first try, in the Mr. Los Angeles competition! Then, he began training others professionally at Gold’s Gym in Venice, where he got to work with and learn from so many industry leaders in the fields of Meditation, Bodybuilding, Nutrition, Entertainment, and the Medical Profession. Through his own experience of working through training injuries and with those of his clients, he began working more in-depth with injury prevention.

This is also when Boris really began to appreciate the importance of proper nutrition and supplementation.

His job there allowed him to meet a Physician that specializes in treating HIV/AIDS, who was really interested in his knowledge and began referring patients to Boris.

He began working as a private bodyguard and working in upscale clubs. The party scene became another place where Boris’ ability to excel evolved into a rapid downward spiral. He battled with an addiction to alcohol and drugs for many years, before finding his way back to a life in fitness, through working a Twelve Step program. Boris incorporates his experience in recovery into his approach to the fitness program with his clients.

Jean Krisle is the CEO & Founder of 10,000 Beds, Inc, a 501c3 nonprofit corporation with the mission of awarding 10,000 scholarships for addiction treatment by 2025.

Jean’s multifaceted career in the nonprofit world, has taken her to audiences and clients around the world. Known for her candor, resiliency, and leadership, An in-demand speaker, Jean is the CEO/Founder of 3 companies – each with a mission of recovery – from addiction, from failure, from challenges.

The grateful mother of a son in long-term recovery, Jean learned during those terrifying years of her son’s active addiction, just how confusing the treatment world can be and how unprepared she was to handle it. She knew others were probably as overwhelmed as she was, and she started a consulting business to provide support to families.

As she would speak with individuals with no resources, and then later in the day visit treatment centers with empty beds, it became clear that this equation needed a solution. From that experience, 10,000 Beds was born.

Today, 10,000 Beds operates with a 100% volunteer staff and board, with funding from individual donors, grants and foundations, and through strategic partnerships with addiction treatment programs throughout the United States who commit to providing at least one scholarship bed per year for a minimum of 30 days of treatment. In 2016, 10,000 Beds awarded over $1,000,000 in addiction treatment scholarships, in 2017 they are on track to award $2,500,000 and in 2018 they’ve set a goal of $5,000,000.

Wesley Geer has been a professional musician for over 20 years. He first found success as the founding member of Jive Records artist Hed P.E. as guitarist, songwriter, and producer. After touring the world for eight years, Wes left the band for a lifestyle change and ultimately landed in rehab.

Then in 2010, at almost three years sober, he was approached to play with the legendary band Korn. He joined Korn and worked with them as their touring guitarist for the next several years, traveling to 42 countries, headlining shows, playing to crowds of 80,000 people, and appearing on a number of recordings and cable and TV shows. His music has been featured in many feature films, video games, radio, and television shows.

Wes also has long had a passion for teaching music. Previously a music teacher at The Fusion Academy’s Huntington Beach campus, Wes taught Recording Arts, Drums, and Guitar.

“I’ve always had a desire to teach and help people through music. It was while teaching at Fusion Academy, that I really realized the level of engagement the students would have when we were ‘writing a song’ together, and then record it! It gave such a greater sense of purpose to our music. and a greater connection between us.

But it was when I was in treatment that I realized how much music could help [me] get through those tough emotions that run so rampant, especially in the early days. Being totally sober and dealing with the bottom I had hit -strumming the guitar was the only thing that would bring me peace. Everyone would wait in line for their turn to play, even people who had never played guitar.

These ingredients really helped me realize this combination had the potential to be a powerful tool within the recovery community. When I looked around, music seemed to be missing from the treatment curriculum. It became my dream to create a music program that could help all those in need."

. . . And so began Rock to Recovery.

Koorosh Rassekh, M.M.F.T., is an Addiction Counselor specializing in substance use, recovery, teen addiction, mindfulness, therapy, psychology, and overdose. Rassekh founded Evo, an outpatient treatment program in Venice, California, with the goal to radically transform the field of addiction treatment. Drawing from the latest research and thinking in the field, Evo employs an integrated, no judgment approach that believes you don’t have to stop to start.

Rassekh brings over 10 years of experience in therapy, with a focus on both addiction treatment and mindfulness. In his work, he has served a wide range of individuals, couples, and families, helping them identify their goals, address underlying trauma, and open up new possibilities for change. Core to this approach is the value that clients already possess the inherent ability to respond effectively to the difficulties they face.

Rassekh has worked in various counseling and outpatient centers in Los Angeles with a focus on substance use. At the Matrix Institute on Addictions, he specialized in working with young adults around drugs, alcohol, and addiction issues. He led a federal grant-driven program with teenagers and surprisingly found that shifting focus away from substances and onto each individual’s needs and desires led to reduced substance use. As Director of Mindfulness at Alternatives Behavioral Health, he developed a program to support clients to successfully adopt their desired lifestyle, whether abstinence or moderation.

Rassekh holds a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Southern California (USC) and a Bachelor of Science in Public Policy and Management from USC. He has completed extensive advanced training in multiple therapeutic approaches, including: Assertive Community Reinforcement Approach (ACRA), Community Reinforcement Approach (CRA), Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Motivational Interviewing, and numerous meditation and mindfulness techniques.

Unpause Your Life with Dr. Cali Estes
https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/unpause-your-life/

Dr. Cali Estes is joined by Jeffrey Lynne Esq. a law partner in Florida law firm Beighley, Myrick, Udell and Lynne with a Boca Raton based consulting practice focused on zoning, real estate, business structuring, marketing, licensing, regulatory compliance and litigation in the Substance Use Disorder treatment and sober living residence provider space. He was appointed by Palm Beach State attorney Dave Aronberg to serve on the Sober Homes taskforce and is also the editor of the blog Sober Law News.

Jeffrey explains the misunderstandings around the laws that exist in the substance use disorder space and why it’s there especially pertaining to kickbacks and patient-centered care.

Jeffrey sheds light on the difficulty treatment providers face distinguishing themselves as good providers outside of word of mouth or referrals. He shares the value of a patient in a marketplace and the role of a patient broker. Jeffery exposes “Interventionists” and their duplicitous operations. He clarifies the law around this and what is and isn’t permitted ie (paybacks, kickbacks for patient referrals). Jefferey says this inevitably leads to people being motivated by money and not by the service needed.

Jeff raises the concern that patients are becoming commodities and the focus is no longer the clinical outcome. He expresses the progress in social policy and civil rights, inefficacious against the immoral scourge of patient brokering.

The issue is compounded outside influences such as negative press around the addiction recovery arena as well as individuals forming groups on social media which shed an unfounded negative light on addiction service providers.

Jeffrey tackles the unrealistic pressure being created for free addiction recovery services and the economic marring it brings to these providers. He unpacks the fallacies that ‘parents are not at fault when it comes to addiction’ and ‘pharmaceutical companies are to blame.’

Jeffrey highlights “The opposite of addiction is not sobriety, it’s community” while conveying how society is undermining the addiction recovery community fabric in Florida.
