Nacogdoches, Texas Drug Rehab Centers

"I love helping people reach their dreams. For 36 years I have devoted my life to mentoring, teaching, and counseling people who want to change their life for the better. I cannot think of a more fulfilling way to spend my time. That’s why I started AIM Recovery Center. At AIM, we have worked so hard to create an affordable, high quality program that works. This program is the culmination of a lifetime of learning what actually helps people make lasting change. I’m proud of what we have developed and can’t wait for you to join me and my staff as we work together to create an awesome future for you. When I’m not working at AIM, I get my joy from spending time with my 9 year old son, playing the piano [I’m a concert pianist], and playing ping pong. I have quite a collection of board games, so maybe we’ll have a chance to play a game or two while you’re here."

Michael Whalin was born and raised in Nevada. There, he attended Douglas High School in Minden where he was a 3-sport varsity athlete. During his senior year of high school, after a devastating life event, he had his own struggle with addiction. Fortunately, in 2015, Michael became sober and built himself a new life from the ground up. Michael began his work in the addiction field as a house manager for a sober living facility. He then took a job in a different treatment facility where he worked nearly every position. This experience allowed him to learn the ins and outs of how to operate a treatment center. Michael now serves as a Director of Operations for Banyan Treatment Centers in Texas.

“I am passionate about applying knowledge and expertise to effect real change in the lives of others. The disease of addiction requires treatment that is complex, nuanced and often counterintuitive.” In 2018, Tyler Harrell joined Greenhouse Treatment Center as its chief operating officer and transitioned to chief executive officer in late 2019. He has more than 11 years of experience managing and administrating healthcare organizations. He is also a certified licensed professional counselor supervisor and licensed chemical dependency counselor. His clinical background combined with his years of leadership experience have been instrumental in his ability to provide clinical and operational oversight at Greenhouse that is focused on compassionate, quality patient care. Harrell believes in a holistic approach to addiction treatment that involves treating the body and the mind. Harrell treats addiction with cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), and 12-Step programming. Harrell’s passion for helping those struggling with the disease of addiction is ingrained in every aspect of his work.
