Michael Harker, RADT I
Operations Manager
I am 30 years old, I was born and raised in Ohio. I was a student athlete until multiple injuries made me stop. At the time I was prescribed pain meds and thus started my road to addiction. I went through countless rehab attempts until I found my way to California and my personal road to recovery. I work in treatment to help other overcome the same situation I was in. My personal struggles help me understand and relate to the patients. Watching people overcome addiction and turn their life around is an amazing experience and I'm privileged to be a part of it.
