It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

"We rise when we heal the whole person."

Ryan is the founder of Altura Recovery, a trauma-informed addiction treatment center and mental health recovery program designed to help individuals heal at every level—mind, body, and spirit. As a person in long-term recovery, Ryan brings lived experience into the heart of everything he builds. He understands firsthand the pain of addiction and the courage it takes to start over. His story drives the mission: to create a place where others can rebuild their lives with dignity, clarity, and purpose.

Ryan's background includes leading multiple behavioral health businesses, building strong clinical teams, and creating programs that prioritize both clinical excellence and authentic human connection. His approach to recovery blends professional insight with a personal commitment to those still navigating the journey.

At Altura, Ryan leads a team committed to whole-person healing. This includes:

Mental health services grounded in evidence-based therapy
Substance use treatment rooted in compassion and accountability
Fitness, nutrition, and wellness to support physical restoration
Spiritual and emotional growth to build a strong inner foundation

Ryan believes that when we treat addiction and mental health as interconnected parts of a person’s full life, recovery becomes more than possible—it becomes transformational.

"Healing the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—gives us the power to become who we were always capable of being. Recovery isn’t about going back. It’s about breaking limits and building a life we never thought possible."

Whether you’re seeking care for yourself or a loved one, Ryan’s story and vision are proof that authentic addiction recovery is not only real—it’s within reach.
