My Recovery Journey at Red Door Life:
From Darkness to Leadership
There was a time in my life when crystal meth owned me. My days were marked by chaos, homelessness, and choices that cut against the deepest parts of my values. Addiction didn’t just take my stability, it shattered my sense of identity. I carried adversities and traumas I didn’t believe anyone could possibly understand, and the weight of that isolation convinced me I was beyond repair. My life was unmanageable, and I truly believed I had no way out.

Our Founder's Story
The innovative programs and services offered at Red Door Life were co-developed by Alex Shohet and Bernadine Fried, LMFT.
On the path to their own recovery, Alex Shohet started and led three successful technology companies. At the same time, Bernadine Fried, LMFT, became a leader in the treatment of trauma and substance use disorders.
In 2005, they joined forces to improve the broken system of addiction and mental health treatment services by disrupting the antiquated care models that plague the industry.
Almost 20 years later, the model of care they developed, along with their groundbreaking innovations, gives Red Door Life community members an unparalleled opportunity to achieve a life of abundance, meaning, health, and wellness.
