Evan Watts – Founder
Evan Watts destructed his chemical dependency and build a life that makes a difference. He is known for his courage and concern for others.

His personal success and victory upon self-destruction deserve appraisal.

After a search for good treatment centers, he selected the Beachway Therapy Center, Florida. Here he received the help he needed and slowly began to live a new life. After obtaining sobriety, Evan decided to remain in Florida where his sober support system was.

He began to tell others his personal story and model of recovery. Now, many years later, over 20 rehabilitation centers exist in this area as the result of his mission.

These facilities help people at every level of recovery. The synergetic effects of Evan’s efforts in Florida have resulted in this area becoming the largest recovery community in the world.
