Our Team

Kayte Bergman, MBA - Founder, Executive Director

In 2020, Kayte attended detox herself. At the time, she was trying to figure out a business she could open. As clarity set in, she looked around the detox and thought, "I could do this." After many setbacks in finding suitable property and making preparations, Kayte had lost the wind in her sails.

By 2023, Kayte reignited her passion for establishing a detox facility with a renewed purpose: to assist others in their journey to sobriety- not just the pursuit of entrepreneurship. A pivotal moment occurred during a lunch with women from AA, where one woman shared her plans for a comprehensive recovery clinic, sparking Kayte’s determination to pursue her own venture. Inspired by her personal triumph over alcoholism and driven by the memory of her brother lost to addiction, Kayte’s mission became deeply personal.

With a background in finance and economics from Utah State University, complemented by an MBA, Kayte is equipped to make a meaningful impact in her field. Her motivation goes beyond mere business enterprise; it's about offering genuine support and dignity to those just like her.
