From Rock Bottom to Recovery Innovation | Guest: Joey Landin, CEO of Sanctuary Recovery Centers

In this episode of Powerless 2 Powerful, we sit down with Joey Landin, the founder and CEO of Sanctuary Recovery Centers, who shares his inspiring journey from homelessness and addiction to building two thriving, purpose-driven companies — all while in sober living.

With over 16 years in recovery and a deep commitment to helping others find freedom, Joey walks us through the beginnings of Sanctuary — starting with the very first home and growing it into more than 5 recovery facilities across the Phoenix Metro area. But this episode is about more than the growth of a business. It’s about the power of hope, innovation, and community in the recovery world.

Joey opens up about how Sanctuary Recovery Centers is working to improve long-term success rates in recovery — from 30% to 55–60% — through trauma-informed care, deep data analysis, and truly listening to what each individual needs to thrive. From helping individuals battling addiction to supporting survivors of sex trafficking and providing adolescent-focused care, Joey’s mission is clear: recovery is possible when we commit to learning, adapting, and leading with heart.
