Mike Sanders – Founder, Co-Owner
Mike Sanders is the founder and co-owner of ExecuCare Addiction Recovery Center. He also owns a financial services firm in New Orleans specializing in retirement solutions. ExecuCare’s story began in January 2005 when Mike’s career and personal life were jeopardized by his addiction to alcohol and prescription drugs. At the suggestion of his wife, Kevin Sanders, he sought treatment for his dependency and found an alternative to the typical “white knuckle” detox that many dread, and few complete successfully. He underwent Neurotransmitter Restoration (NTR) treatment that included a 10-day IV of amino acids, vitamins and minerals tailored specifically for Mike’s particular addictions and medical make-up.
Despite the fact that he drank and took Oxycontin up until a few hours before beginning NTR, Mike began feeling the positive results of the treatment within the first three days. He lost his craving for drugs and alcohol almost immediately and successfully completed the 10-day protocol. His withdrawal experience was like a very mild case of the flu.
Mike’s clarity of mind improved tremendously and his physical health returned steadily with the assistance of a monthly booster at the clinic. He was amazed at how quickly and effectively this little-known treatment method worked, and he was motivated to share it with others. As a successful business owner and leader in the community, Mike also understood the unique needs of business professionals and their desire to avoid the sometimes negative repercussions associated with more traditional treatments.
Hurricane Katrina and almost a year of sobriety brought Mike the opportunity to temporarily relocate to his hometown of Atlanta and open a recovery center there in order to deliver to other business executives the same results that he had achieved. In November 2005, he established New Life Treatment, LLC, and set out to open his first ExecuCare Addiction Recovery Center™ to help executives overcome their alcohol and drug dependencies.
Kevin Sanders – Co-Owner
Kevin Sanders completed two years at Furman University before earning her Bachelor of Arts degree in Kinesiology from the University of Washington. She has been Mike’s wife and business partner since 1978. According to Kevin, the part of her life that has had the deepest meaning has been being a wife and mother. She believes in the strength and power of family, and its ability to overcome obstacles.
She was first drawn to the Neurotransmitter Restoration (NTR) treatment because of its nutritional approach to the use of all natural amino acids, vitamins and minerals in the IV protocol. With the demands of their busy company, she also liked the short duration of the 10-day, outpatient program.
Almost immediately, Kevin recognized the benefits of the treatment. Mike seemed to have an immediate renewed sense of energy and clarity of mind. With the combination of the NTR treatment and Mike’s perseverance over the next few months, she witnessed a dramatic recovery. She looks forward to ExecuCare bringing the same hope and healing to other families that it has brought to hers.
