Our team

The people running the plan Names on the door, not stock photos. Click any photo to read the bio.

Real Deal was founded to focus on mental-health treatment while keeping sober living affordable enough that anyone who deserves recovery can actually finish it. The people on this page are the team that runs that plan — clinicians, admissions, sober living operators, ops. Many of them are in recovery themselves; the rest were hired because they know how to work with people who are. That is why the plan you get here is not theoretical.

Why real names matter

The team behind the mission

Most treatment marketing shows stock photos with clean smiles. The person who actually walks you through admission, sits across from you in group, and takes your call at 8pm on a Sunday — that’s who matters. Those are the people above.

Real Deal was founded to close the gap between the treatment adults need and the treatment they can actually afford to finish. Every person on this team was hired to run that plan. Many of them — admissions reps, sober living operators, house staff, and several clinicians — are in recovery themselves. The ones who aren’t were hired because they know exactly how to work with people who are.

None of that replaces training. Every clinical role at Real Deal is licensed or supervised. But mission plus lived experience is why the room feels different from what most people expect walking in.

“Real Deal is without a doubt the most structured and therapeutic rehab program I have ever attended. It has brought me to one year in sobriety and I don't know what I would have done had I not participated in the program. I highly recommend Real Deal to anyone struggling with alcohol and/or drugs. It's amazing. Just try it and you will see for yourself!”

“Real deal is a truly rare place that has instrumental in my rehabilitation. The staff truly cares deeply about you and wants you to succeed. Also Real Deal is one of not many outpatient rehab places that takes primary mental health cases. Highly recommend this place and thank you to everyone who helped me.”

“I love all of these guys. These guys made me feel better. They made me think better. I don't feel those ways anymore. Before I came here, I was certain I wouldn't be alive for much longer. These guys fixed that.”

“The Real Deal is an incredible program that prioritizes accessibility more than almost any other PHP, IOP, and Housing program. With housing fees at lower price point than a majority of sober livings, the option to have your pet with you, and a supportive recovery community, they really do try to eliminate barriers to care as much as possible.”

“Real Deal is different then the others. It offers flexible support for recovery, allowing you to live at home while attending therapy and counseling sessions. It's designed to fit your schedule and provides tools to maintain sobriety and prevent relapse. The focus on mental health is a great way to get to the root of what's gone wrong time and time again. Cannot recommend enough!”
