Ben Seymour

Founder MAC, CDDC, BRI-II

With a decade of experience working in the addiction field, Ben has provided intervention and other recovery services all over the United States. He has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, on television and other media sources to share his insight into addiction. He sites his own struggles with drugs and alcohol as the motivating factor behind his work. After enduring detox centers, mental hospitals and treatment center after treatment center, Ben learned first hand what works and what does not. He expresses a deep gratitude for the years he has been clean and sober. Ben has now focused his attention on helping people in the community where he lives.

"I understand that leaving Idaho and going to in-patient treatment is not an option for everyone. People with careers, parents with children, professionals and students have problems with addiction as well. It is time we face this reality and give them the treatment they need. We hope to help people before they get arrested, lose their families or worse."

Prior to his work as an Interventionist, Ben worked with Michael's House in Palm Springs, California. He was a primary counselor helping dually diagnosed males. Over the years he has come to establish working relationships with the nations leading treatment centers. He has come to know the staff/owners and visited the locations. Ben has also sought the help of Scott Gilbert, a long time friend and founder of several successful IOP locations throughout the US. Ashwood Recovery is the outcome of theirexperiences and findings.

"We have gone to great lengths to put together the best clinical staff possible. I am confident we can reach people that have previously been unable to find recovery. This is based on our belief of treating these disorders together and at their core."
