Dan started as an addiction counselor and came to realize that he disagreed with the treatment options and models that were available. So he and his wife, Angie created Elevate Addiction Services along with an amazing team of veteran staff. On a mission to approach addiction more holistically, but also from a scientifically evidence-based approach, Dan and Angie centered the Elevate model around the idea of healing the whole person, not merely their symptoms. Listen to today's episode to understand more about what makes Elevate Addiction Services stand apart from other addiction treatment centers and why it’s continuing to gain recognition as one of the premier treatment models in the industry.
