Mike Appel
Co – CEO
Mike began his career as an independent interventionist more than 25 years ago. As a solo practitioner, his tireless dedication to clients and willingness to share the impact addiction has had on his own loved ones quickly made him the go-to person for families in crisis.

With a wealth of connections and an impeccable reputation for absolute discretion, Mike has worked with hundreds of families, family offices, and people of note facilitating the best possible care available.

He has also worked with homeless alcoholics and addicts, and was once a staff member at the Hazelden Foundation.

In the late 1990s, Mike developed The Substance Abuse Diversion Initiative of Lowell (SADIL), a groundbreaking program that encouraged law enforcement officials to divert chemically dependent individuals into treatment modalities instead of jail.

Though Mike’s initial idea to help people navigate their way to wellness has grown into a world-class organization beyond his wildest dream, he is still most happy, and most grateful, when he is working one-on-one with clients, helping them get the help they need.

Mike and his family live in Beverly Hills and Boston.
