She will be exclusively responsible for the development, administration, and management of the clinical programs and staff of both Origins Recovery Center and Hannah's House. 

"We are excited to have Kim at the helm of Origins Behavioral HealthCare clinical venues in Texas and are honored to welcome her to our committed leadership team," said Jim Caldwell, President and Chief Executive Officer of Origins Behavioral HealthCare.

Their mission is to provide a clear path to a life of healing and restoration. With corporate headquarters in Dallas, the company's innovative programs comprise a comprehensive continuum of care for the treatment of alcoholism, addiction, and co-occurring disorders. Origins' premier residential and intensive outpatient campuses are located in carefully selected locations around the United States, including Dallas and South Padre Island, Texas, and West Palm Beach, Florida.

A native of Wichita Falls, TX, Garrett holds a master's degree in social work from the University of Texas at Arlington and a masters of business administration from Amberton University.

"Origins is uniquely equipped to integrate best practices with cutting-edge research to provide premier addiction services for people who need them."

Origins Recovery Center will also be investing in programmatic enhancements over the next six months.
