    Ollie Headshot
    Oliver Clark
    CEO & Founder

    I founded Rehab Recovery in 2012 to assist services users and their families find the most effective treatment solutions available for lasting recovery.

    Addiction and mental health come in many shapes and sizes. Not only alcohol and substance misuse but also behavioural addictions, depression, anxiety as well as dual diagnosis and comorbidity with more complex mental health disorders.

    My personal journey to recovery began in 1999 after struggling with addiction for many years. I hit rock bottom many times after shattering my personal and work life over and over as a direct consequence of failing to manage my addictions.

    Suffering from chronic low self-esteem,  being hypersensitive and struggling to find an “authentic purpose” in life, I struggled with relationships with others and with myself. My addictions progressed very quickly to the chronic state of the illness where dependency took hold of me and bought me to my knees.

    After a few painful relapses in early recovery, I’m thankful to say I’ve now been in recovery over 17 years. Maintaining my own recovery and helping others on the road to sobriety has become and will remain my authentic purpose in life. I absolutely love my life today and count my blessings every moment.

    I’m very proud of the fact that over the last decade we’ve helped thousands of service users and their families find abstinence-based recovery with meaningful relationships and a new authentic purpose in their own lives.

    With such a well established and an extensive network of addiction services and clinicians, I hope we can continue with the same success for years to come and believe we can make a real difference and enhance many peoples lives.

    Keith Prance
    Head of Content Strategy

    Keith stopped using drugs and drinking alcohol more than 10 years ago. He now spends a lot of time writing and editing content for this website. His mission is to assist people who are also looking to embrace addiction recovery.

    Keith believes a key way to accomplish this goal is through his writing. Keith subscribes to 12-step teachings, but he’s also well versed in a number of evidence-based treatments such as cognitive behavioural therapy and dialectical behavioural therapy.

    Hannah Nachman
    Head of Admissions

    Hannah has been working with Rehab Recovery for four years and in the field for seven years working as the Head of Admissions for some of the UK’s leading treatment clinics.

    Hannah has been in recovery for just over 10 years, after 20 years in addiction she reached a breaking point, and she couldn’t continue using alcohol and drugs. She had no idea how to live life without them.

    Hannah finally admitted that she had a problem, that it was time to get help and that she couldn’t do it on her own. It was from that admission that her denial around her addiction started to crumble, she was able to go and get the help she so desperately needed. She hasn’t looked back.

    Hannah is so proud to work with other addicts and their families today supporting and guiding people to get the treatment they need because she knows with the right help it is possible to have the life you have always wanted, free from the need to use and drink.
