About Recovery HQ

Recovery HQ is a collective of compassionate addiction recovery advocates and seasoned marketing professionals united by a singular mission: to empower individuals to heal, thrive, and reclaim their lives while supporting treatment facilities and other businesses in amplifying their reach and impact with our treatment center marketing services. With an average of over 25 years of personal recovery from a variety of addictions, more than a decade of experience in marketing and advertising, and years of experience in the addiction recovery industry per team member, we bring a rare blend of lived wisdom, professional expertise, and unwavering dedication.

Who We Are

Led by our Founder, Kirk Waterman, and operated by individuals who have walked the path of recovery themselves, Recovery HQ combines deep empathy with practical know-how. Our team members are not only recovery advocates but also skilled strategists who understand the complexities of both addiction and the systems designed to treat it. This dual expertise allows us to offer unparalleled support to those seeking recovery and to the treatment centers committed to helping them. We are driven by a profound belief that every individual deserves hope, dignity, and the tools to build a fulfilling life beyond addiction.

The Recovery HQ team brings decades of hands-on experience across the full spectrum of addiction recovery services. We have facilitated and participated in nearly every facet of the addiction treatment and recovery journey, including:

• Interventions: We perform multiple types of addiction interventions, skillfully guiding people toward tailored treatment options with compassion and expertise.
• Detoxification and Treatment: We work in detoxes, inpatient, outpatient, crisis stabilization, and a variety of other addiction treatment and detox facilities.
• Aftercare, Support + Coaching: We provide individualized recovery plans, post treatment support, safe transport, sober companionship, recovery advocacy and coaching.
• Holistic Support: We facilitate meditation workshops, breath work, sound healing, grief and trauma recovery, and other addiction recovery initiatives.
• 12-Step Facilitation: We have facilitated thousands of 12-step meetings, groups, step studies, workshops, retreats and more, for substance and behavioral addictions.
• Specialized Services: We design and execute elite, luxury, global treatment and recovery plans for high-profile individuals with discretion and care.

Our team has dedicated thousands of hours to answering helpline calls, working in detox centers, crisis houses, jails, prisons, treatment centers, and rehabilitation facilities, while also speaking at conferences, businesses, and educational institutions. Through these efforts, we’ve helped thousands of individuals transform their lives and inspired countless others to take the first step toward recovery.

At Recovery HQ, our mission is to help individuals, families, and organizations transform the way the world approaches recovery. We empower people to break free from addiction and rediscover purpose, meaning, and wholeness—while equipping families with the understanding, tools, and support needed to heal together.

We also partner with treatment professionals and recovery organizations to strengthen their reach and impact—providing ethical marketing, visibility, and strategic growth solutions that help connect those in need with the right care, at the right time.

Through compassion, innovation, and evidence-based practices, Recovery HQ exists to help people not only get sober, but stay connected—to themselves, their loved ones, and the communities they serve
