It wasn’t until he started working in the treatment world when he decided to use his own personal experiences in recovery to help relate with other young men, eventually creating his own treatment center; The Grounds. Throughout the next eight years, he saw the need for more women-based treatment centers and decided to start Mare’s House. Now, Alex has been working in addiction treatment &amp; mental health communities for over a decade, helping young adults find new ways to live and thrive.In this episode of Success is Subjective, Alex joins Joanna to share his journey going from in and out of treatment centers, to owning two treatment centers of his own.
