Mike Sanders
Owner
Mike Sanders, 50, is the owner of New Orleans-based Consolidated Financial Group, a financial services firm specializing in retirement solutions. With four offices, one located in Metro Atlanta, Mike has built a successful investment firm during the past 24 years. After earning a Bachelor Science degree in Biology from Furman University, Mike began his career with success in a sales position with Pfizer Corporation, as well as three years of military service.
Mike and his wife, Kevin, have been married for 28 years and have three children. It is hard to believe that just over three years ago Mike’s career and
personal life were jeopardized by his long-time addiction to alcohol
and his more recent addictions to OxyContin, which he began taking for
back pain, and Xanax, which he was taking for anxiety.
At the
suggestion of his wife, he sought treatment in January 2005 and
happened upon an alternative to the typical “white knuckle” detox that
many dread, and few complete successfully. He underwent treatment at
Equipoise Clinic in Slidell, La. The clinic utilized a unique treatment that administered an IV of amino acids 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 the treatment, he completed the 10-day outpatient procedure
and began feeling the positive results even before the 10th day. In
fact, he lost his craving for drugs and alcohol almost immediately, and
the withdrawal was only akin to a very mild case of the flu.
His
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, in order to deliver to
other business executives the same results that he 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 addictions.
Mike and his wife are personally financing ExecuCare ARC in Atlanta and Slidell and hope to open more clinics in the future.

Kevin Sanders
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 served as Mike’s right-hand woman for more than 23
years as owner and vice president of Consolidated Financial Group.
Kevin, a native New Orleanian, has also been a Realtor with a family
company for more than 12 years. Albeit an accomplished business woman,
Kevin considers her true successes come from being a devoted mother to
Michael, Elizabeth and Arthur, and a loving wife to Mike. She believes
in the strength and power of family, and its ability to overcome
obstacles together.
She was first drawn to the amino acid
recovery method because of its wellness and all natural approach. With
Mike and her owning a company, she also liked the short duration of the
10-day, outpatient program. Almost immediately, she recognized the
benefits of the treatment. Mike seemed to have a renewed sense of
energy and clarity of mind. With the combination of the Neurotransmitter Restoration (NTR)
treatment and Mike’s perseverance, she witnessed a dramatic recovery
within days. She looks forward to ExecuCare ARC bringing the same hope and
healing to other families as it has brought to hers.
