Lucy Garrighan, CEO and Founder

Lucy Garrighan has over thirty years of experience operating and leading a corporation. When her family was personally affected by substance use and mental health issues, she changed paths to help others going through similar situations. Jade Wellness Center is a state-licensed outpatient drug and alcohol treatment center assisting those with substance use disorder into recovery. Journey Healthcare followed soon after and expanded into mental health treatment. As the leader of Journey, she strives to make mental health treatment more accessible and acceptable. In the rare instance Lucy is not working, she can be found with one of her seven grandchildren.

She has worked in multiple outpatient facilities, allowing her to gain years of experience and perspective in treating substance use disorders. She is attuned to the needs of her clients and the challenges that they face.
