Compass Recovery Center

Compass Recovery Center was founded by brothers, Tim and Ted Michael. Tim’s wife, Maureen, plays a key role in the day to day operations of the organization as well. They wanted to find a way to provide help to others in an attempt to honor their deceased father, Tom. Tom’s entire life had been filled with both kindness and gratitude. They decided to open Compass Recovery Center in order to provide treatment for individuals battling addiction. They felt doing so would allow them to continue with their father’s caring way. During his life, Tom was a Green Thumb Master Gardener, with the amazing ability to grow virtually anything. His true love was raising beautiful roses. Over the years, he had become familiar with every type. The ancient Greeks are credited for creating what is now called the ‘Compass Rose.’ The Compass Rose flower has been used to assist with wind, nautical, and astronomical direction. In the same way, the Michael family believes that Compass Recovery Centers’ addiction treatment programs can help to direct those in need of a new healthy life path.
