Lynne Runstrom
Intake Coordinator

As an intake coordinator I am, most times, the first face clients see upon arrival for treatment with us. I gather up information for their charts and make sure their families are taken care of. Additionally, I am an example of Pathways Recovery philosophies, principles, and disciplines. With over 25 years in my own recovery, I have a practical application of food as fuel and medicine that allows me freedom from the fast food/pharmaceutical trap.

Dr. Charles Carpenter
Addiction Medicine Doctor

Drug and alcohol treatment often focused on just abstinence, but Dr. Carpenter will help you learn how to get to the core root of your substance use disorder. To begin your care at our drug and alcohol treatment center Sacramento for men Dr Carpenter will safely and comfortably get you through the detoxification process and will continue to work with you during your stay in our residential treatment house. Dr Carpenter truly cares about his patients and each person will feel seen and heard.

Travis Cordero
Personal Fitness Training

Exercise is a big part of our holistic addiction treatment approach and with years of personal training experience and a passion for helping people, Travis will educate and physically train each person during their stay at our drug and alcohol treatment center. Travis brings a very positive energy and works with each client in a small semi-private off site gym just a few minutes away from our residential facility. Gym sessions are provided 3 days a week. Clients love this time outside the daily group and individual counseling sessions. Sweating helps process out the toxins and restores sleep patterns much quicker than non-natural methods. You won’t find a lot of restless people in our treatment facility. After a full day of learning and emotional processing and a solid workout, the men in our treatment facility sleep very well.

Arthur Maglalang CADC
Men's Center Director

Art is a certified drug addiction counselor who has been a vital part of the Pathways Recovery clinical team since he first came on board in 2018.  During that time Art‘s steady demeanor has allowed him to connect and build the trust of our clientele unlike many other counselors in the field.  His personal approach to alcohol and drug treatment has helped countless individuals who were seeking to make drastic changes in their lives.

Shelli Michael Cooper SUDCC II
Womens Recovery Center Program Director

I am honored to be the Program Director for the Pathways Recovery Women’s House. My mission is to provide education and support for women to be unburdened from the shame of their compulsive comfort seeking behaviors. Our clients leave Pathways feeling empowered and confident to create a life that they are proud of, without the use of substances.
