Shavonne Thompson / Throttle & Thrive / Healing Veterans & First Responders

from Law Enforcement Life Coach / Sometimes Heroes Need Help Podcast · host John Kelly

This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with the founder and director of Throttle & Thrive, A first responder and veteran, male only, recovery center located in the beautiful neighborhood of Palos Verdes Estates out in Cali. Shavonne and I discussed her calling to establish this program and just as important the mission of saving lives within a community she and her staff care deeply about. Something she said to me really hit home. "We aren't just saving men from themselves, we are giving families back their fathers and husbands. If you or someone you know is struggling to get back to the man you once were, share this episode, give us a call and let's get it done! https://throttleandthrive.com/tel:805.701.1309More info on Shavonne and Throttle & ThriveThrottle & Thrive is a men’s only, 6-bed detox and residential (inpatient) substance misuse treatment program exclusively for First Responders and Veterans.
