Meet our Leadership Team

Grant Schaefer
Executive Director
Grant first gained an affinity for working with clients while working as an EMT and firefighter in high school. While in college he worked at Devereux Advanced Behavioral Health as a direct care provider. During this time, he learned to interact and support clients with mental health disorders. Toward the end of his college career, he joined a tech startup where he created their human resources and customer success program. Around this time, Grant began struggling with marijuana use. He ended up completing his degree in psychology and philosophy from the University of Colorado Boulder. After graduating, he struggled for several years to maintain a job and contribute positively to society. After trying multiple treatment centers, he finally found long term sobriety through a sober living facility in Massachusetts.
When Grant moved back to Colorado, he became a consultant and learned how to license facilities, create strategic relationships, establish websites/digital presence and more. After he helped several outpatient facilities open, he decided to create his own.
Grant is passionate about providing a unique and supportive treatment setting for all people who are struggling with substance use disorders. In his spare time, you can find him outdoors. Grant loves to spend his free time skiing, snowboarding, kayaking, hiking and playing guitar.

Recognizing the opportunity to make a greater impact, Andrew, together with Grant, made the decision to establish their own treatment facility in 2023.
In his spare time, Andrew finds solace and rejuvenation by immersing himself in nature. He cherishes moments spent with his wife and beloved dogs, exploring the great outdoors. Andrew’s passion for travel has taken him to over 20 countries, allowing him to experience different cultures and broaden his perspectives.
The experiences Andrew has had in the treatment industry and the disability community have profoundly shaped him as an individual. Having personally struggled with addiction in his youth, he understands the challenges and the journey to recovery on a deep level. Andrew’s own triumph over addiction has fueled his desire to provide the same level of support, care, and opportunities that he received during his formative years. He is driven by the belief that everyone deserves access to high-quality care, compassion, and the chance to build a fulfilling life.
Through his unwavering dedication, Andrew Sterling continues to transform lives and make a positive impact on individuals with disabilities and those battling addiction.
