Shawn Young

Shawn Young

Executive Director

As the Executive Director of Southern California, I have the privilege of leading a team of dedicated professionals across several substance abuse treatment facilities — but at the heart of what I do is people. Whether it’s helping a client take their first step toward recovery or supporting a staff member as they grow into leadership, my passion lies in developing others and building environments where people can thrive.

I didn’t get here by accident. I worked my way up through this field — from cooking in the kitchen and working as a tech, to becoming a clinician, and now serving in executive leadership. That journey gave me a deep understanding of what this work really takes — grit, heart, and an unwavering commitment to showing up for people when they need it most.

I believe recovery is more than just treatment — it’s a life long journey that we have the privilege of helping people build that foundation.

At the end of the day, I’m a husband and a father. My family is my foundation and the reason I lead with heart. The way I show up at home is how I try to show up in this work — grounded, honest, and fully present.

This isn’t just a job to me — it’s a calling, and I’m all in.

Michael McArthur

Michael McArthur

Nursing Director

I am the Director of Nursing for California facilities, overseeing all medical staff and client care operations. My journey into nursing was inspired by a personal desire to provide hope and compassion during life’s most challenging moments. Watching nurses care for my family during a difficult time, I realized how powerful a little hope and dedicated care can be. This inspired me to pursue a career in nursing, knowing I could make a difference when people need it most.

I love working in addiction recovery because it allows me to witness clients grow and thrive within our walls. Our staff’s client-focused approach creates a positive, motivating environment that makes coming to work truly rewarding.

Outside of my professional life, I am a proud father of four wonderful kids. They are my greatest inspiration—teaching me patience, resilience, and the importance of hope every day. My personal recovery journey has also strengthened my understanding of overcoming adversity, and it fuels my dedication to helping others find their path to healing.

I work in this industry because I believe that substance use disorder and behavioral health are underserved populations that deserve attention, compassion, and support. I am excited to be on the front lines helping to reduce stigma and provide clients with genuine opportunities for recovery.

Personally, I am passionate about my family, continuous improvement in patient care through scientific and technological advances, and my love for the Los Angeles Lakers. My goal is to make a meaningful difference, one life at a time, with hope, compassion, and unwavering dedication.
