Ken is a subject matter expert and often speaks on substance use and mental health disorder topics at professional conferences and the media nationwide. Ken's facilities, programming, and the services provided have continually evolved around a need to provide for his community:●Intervention911 started in 2002, which gives families access to intervention services from intervention specialists nationwide.●In 2011, Ken Seeley Communities started with Sober Living Facilities to serve a growing need for sober housing in the Coachella Valley.●In 2015, as the need for intensive treatment options grew, KSC added IMS Detox, Intensive Outpatient, and Residential Substance Use Disorder Treatment to our programming. KSC now offered a full continuum of care.●In 2020 amidst COVID-19 and the pandemic, residential mental health treatment in a non-hospitalized setting was needed as the general public's mental health declined due to fear, anxiety, and isolation. Ken opened Mental Wellness PS, our Residential Mental Health Treatment Facility. After over three decades, both off and on camera, Ken has applied his experiences into the treatment equation. Ken and his team have created a treatment process that works as a seamless continuum of care. It consists of many moving parts that work together to hold accountability and boost successful long-term recovery. This asset has become a valuable catalyst in Intervention911's and Ken Seeley Communities' impressive results.
