For Drew Rothermel, who is now CEO of Origins and ran Hanley for Caron and then suddenly in the spring cleaned out his desk at Caron in one of the most highly visible executive addictions industry news stories of 2014, he must feel like he is rising like a Phoenix back in charge of the Hanley Center he loves. Says Rothermel: “At Origins our focus is squarely on treatment excellence. To ensure that Hanley Center’s treatment meets the same standards that Origin’s key referral sources have come know and expect, I have put in place a new treatment leadership team … with Origins EVP Rob Park taking on the role of executive directorship at Hanley, Stephanie Smith as clinical director and Chris Raynor overseeing programmatic immersion in the 12-Steps. All come from Texas and are proven leaders.”
