Ep 59: May Mental Health Series, Part 1 of 3: Addiction and Entrepreneurship with Zack Ament
Zack Ament, founder of Westwind Recovery, ranked the best Los Angeles Treatment Center by Newsweek, joins Mike to share his extraordinary journey from addiction to entrepreneurship, and how the isolation many of us experience in these times of COVID are triggering substance abuse. There’s help for those who are struggling. Listen in!
After numerous attempts to get clean and sober at various treatment facilities and programs that began during his high school years, Zack finally found success while running sober living homes in 2014 while simultaneously pursuing a Bachelors degree in Psychology and Yogic Philosophy at Loyola Marymount University. His light, positive, high energy personality lends itself to the camaraderie experienced at Westwind, and his passion for creating an atmosphere of community and – more importantly – family through fun, social, sober events fosters a sense of “all-inclusiveness” amongst our clientele. This buoyant charm enables Zack to not only serve as the chair for the AALA Roundup, an LGBTQ nonprofit that serves to bolster communities through Crisis Intervention, Mental Health leniencies, as well as Alcohol, Drug and Substance Abuse awareness, prevention and treatment while continuing his addiction studies in clinical psychology at Antioch University.
