Tony Pool, Founder, USN/ Army Retired
Hello, I’m Tony Pool, the founder and operator of Beecon Recovery located in Brigham City, Utah. Having grown up in an environment affected by alcohol abuse, I understand the challenges of addiction firsthand. At Beecon, our mission goes beyond traditional recovery, we’re here to guide individuals on their journey to lasting sobriety.
As someone who experienced the impact of addiction within my own family, I am deeply committed to helping others overcome the struggles of drug and alcohol abuse. My personal journey fuels my passion for creating a space where individuals can find healing, support, self-love, and a path to reconnect with themselves.
At Beecon, we believe in more than just breaking free from addiction; we are dedicated to teaching individuals how to “stay stopped.” We understand that addiction affects not only the individual but the entire family. My goal here at Beecon is to provide comprehensive recovery programs that address the root causes of addiction and promote healing for everyone involved.
Beecon is more than a recovery center; it’s a sanctuary for rediscovery. We focus on teaching essential life skills, fostering self-awareness, and nurturing personal growth. Our programs empower individuals to rebuild their lives and relationships, promoting a holistic approach to recovery.
If you or a loved one is seeking a path to lasting recovery, Beecon is here for you. Explore our programs and resources to discover a supportive, loving community dedicated to helping you reconnect with yourself and your loved ones.
Lee W., LCSW, SUDC, Clinical Director
The windmill is a universal symbol of life, serenity, resilience, self-sufficiency, and perseverance while harnessing the energy necessary to thrive in a sometimes-harsh environment. I witness these same aspects in the lives of others that I get to work with each day.
I utilize client-centered and solution-focused approaches along with multiple modalities to obtain the best results. I’m passionate about addressing issues associated with various forms of addictions, domestic violence, dual diagnosis, depression, anxiety, and trauma.
I have a dual Master of Social Work and Master of Public Administration degree. In addition to being a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I’m also a Licensed Substance Use Disorder Counselor (SUDC). I’m trained in EMDR trauma therapy, certified in Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT), and certified through the Utah Association for Domestic Violence Treatment (UADVT) in both survivor and offender training.
I enjoy almost anything outdoors, which is why my family has made Northern Utah and these beautiful surroundings our home. Whether riding wave runners in the summer, sleds in the winter, and hiking or camping any time of the year, life is worth connecting. I love helping others find their connections!
Alejandra M., CSW, Assistant Clinical Director
Welcome! I’m Alejandra Millsap, a passionate therapist dedicated to helping individuals find clarity, resilience, and empowerment in their lives. With a warm and client-centered approach, I specialize in various therapeutic modalities including Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Strengths-Based Therapy.
Originally from Mexico but having spent much of my life in Utah, I bring a unique cultural perspective to my practice, fostering inclusivity and understanding in every session. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Weber State University and completed my Master’s in Social Work at the University of Kentucky, where I honed my skills and commitment to making a positive impact in people’s lives.
Outside of my professional endeavors, I find solace and joy in the great outdoors. You’ll often find me camping, hiking, paddle boarding, or riding ATVs with my beloved family and our furry companions. Nature serves as both a sanctuary and a source of inspiration, fueling my passion for holistic well-being.
I believe in the inherent strength and resilience within each individual, and I am here to support you on your journey towards personal growth and fulfillment. Together, we’ll navigate challenges, explore opportunities, and cultivate meaningful changes that resonate with your unique strengths and values.
I look forward to the privilege of walking alongside you as you embark on the path towards healing, sobriety and self-discovery.

Jeremy S., A- SUDC, Clinical Therapist
Ashley W., Intern Clinical Therapist
Mikelle S., Intern Clinical Therapist
I love working at Beecon for so many reasons. The sense of community and genuine care from the staff and the clients alike. There are so many people from all different backgrounds and they all come together in one place to help better their lives as well as each other’s.
I just started at Beecon a month ago but I already love it here!
I have worked my way up from being a high school dropout and teenage mother to being able to follow my dreams of being a therapist and helping others navigate the difficult times in their lives. I started in social work at the age of 35 and have not followed a “traditional” life path but I have learned to appreciate my life experiences.
I love spending quality time with my loved ones. Nothing makes me feel more alive than sitting with my family and seeing where I came from and what I have built. It’s an amazing and peaceful place for me.
Beecon is especially special because of the staff. They are a diverse group of people who have lived life and experienced many similar things to the clients providing them a genuine understanding of the struggles. This is also an amazing example of how people can turn their lives around. Also, the large variety of treatments and the support available to the clients is extremely unique.
Beecon has taught me that there are so many little things in life to appreciate. I watch clients come in during various stages of life and build amazing lives for themselves. It has taught me that I have the ability to do whatever I set out to do and also that I have a lot to learn and I am in a great place to do that.
I graduated from Utah State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Family, Consumer, and Human Development and a minor in sociology and criminal justice. I have worked with the Department of Child and Family Services for six years and I am a licensed social service worker. I am in my second year of my Master’s of Social Work at Boise State University.

Beecon stands out because of the unwavering support and genuine care that is given to each team member and client.

Jazie S., Program Supervisor
Samantha E., Lead Support Staff
I am passionate about helping people and love watching clients progress here at Beecon. I am currently in a Masters program for social work and enjoy learning how to be a better helper for my professional and personal development.
Zj W., Lead Support Staff
DeVon J., Case Manager & Peer Support Specialist
Michael T., Case Manager & Peer Support Specialist
Michelle N., Case Manager & Peer Support Specialist
My name is Michelle Nelson, and I am a Case Manager, Peer Support Specialist, and Sober Living Manager at Beecon Recovery. I am deeply committed to my work and passionate about helping others overcome addiction and find healing.
By sharing my personal journey, I aim to inspire hope and guide our clients toward discovering their own paths to a fulfilling and joyful life. As a Case Manager, I find great satisfaction in helping clients develop essential life skills and witnessing their success in areas where they once struggled.
I believe that my purpose is to help others achieve the same freedom from addiction that I have found. I am grateful to be part of Beecon Recovery, an organization that I believe provides effective and individualized pathways to recovery and a fulfilling life for each of our clients.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking, crocheting, playing with my grandchildren, participating in community events, and supporting our local fellowship.
Sabrina R., Case Manager & Peer Support Specialist
My name is Sabrina Rust and my positions at Beecon Recovery as a Certified Peer Support Specialist and Case Management Provider not only allow me to the opportunity to pursue a career helping others which is something I genuinely love and enjoy but my role in both positions are also extremely rewarding in so many different ways, one of the main ones being personal growth.
I, myself, am in recovery and I was lost in the dark depths of addiction for a good portion of my life and I love that I now have the opportunity to be the light to help guide people out of that darkness. I am able to use my past, that I was at one time ashamed of, as a tool that I am able to utilize every day to help those lost in addiction see that there is a way out and that it is possible to overcome even the worst addictions. I am able to help others find the same hope I found and it’s a beautiful, rewarding, life-changing event to witness and be a part of. I am able to help others become a better version of themselves while in turn becoming a better version of me. Being a recovering addict/alcoholic is never something in life I would’ve ever imagined I would be able to use for good or to benefit others or myself and fortunately I get to tell a different story today. All of the guilt and shame has slowly dissipated and I have been able to turn all of that into experience and a way to help my clients be able to relate and see that I have been in the same desperate, hopeless place.
I know that recovery looks different for everyone individually, but I also know that my ability to empathize and relate helps my clients tremendously. This position/role is something I choose as not just an occupation/career but a lifestyle as well
Clorissa M., Administrative Director
My Name is Clorissa and I am the Administrative Director of Beecon Recovery. Working with Beecon has changed how I think about addiction recovery and has helped me to understand what it really takes for people to change. I have been with Beecon since 2021 and I learn new things every day. I am currently attending school at Weber State University with the intent to graduate with a degree focused on business management. In my spare time, I love to read and spend time with my family and friends, although I don’t get much spare time between work and school. Throughout my time at Beecon, I have found that support systems are the key to success and everyone at Beecon has been the key to mine.
Savannah L., Assistant Director
Sarah K., Marketing
I never had the support and dedication that beacon gives me! They've helped me become 6 months sober. And they make me want to come,and they help me also be excited to come! It's a very motivating treatment place.
This place is AMAZING!!!! They make your treatment personal for you. The staff is awesome and they treat you like family.
Beecon has been amazing to me and very helpful in my recovery process everyone here is more than gracious with all of my needs and I can say I will be walking away with newly made friends clients and therapists both.
Words do not do justice with the love and compassion the staff at Beecon Recovery have shown myself and fellow addicts. The time dedicated to each one of us along with the passion they all have for sobriety and the well being of their patients, is beyond selfless. They actually care and invest themselves into each one of us every single day, no matter what. For addicts, like myself, I couldn't of walked into another facility and felt the overwhelming calmness and the feeling of a place where I was meant to be and of belonging. I've got the opportunity to get my life back in a transitional outpatient program that offers many different techniques of healing and therapy. I thank God everyday for the opportunity to work with each of the staff members to increase my abilities to live a sober and productive life.
Beecon Recovery is absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend. Not only does their program work but it is incredible and their staff is absolutely fantastic. They actually care about each and every one of their clients and each clients program is personalized to every one of them, you're not just a number! They offer Neuro feedback which is super interesting and highly effective and no other treatment program does this! You aren't just assigned one therapist but you get 4! There's also hypnotherapy which I personally find super effective and highly recommend! Beecon is all around a unique experience and a one of a kind program! Would recommend to anyone who has addiction issues and is seeking help!
Beecon recovery is a great recovery option that provides a wide array of services to help with mental health and substance abuse disorder treatment
Beecon is a one of kind outpatient treatment program that I would recommend for anyone who is ready to change their lives
Beecon takes care of their clients on an individual basis. They take a bit longer to complete than other rehabilitation centers because they are dedicated to getting their patients clean and keeping them clean. Some of the staff and patients clash in personality but they are open to feedback and work with patients in a unique way that no other rehab clinic does. They offer ketamine therapy, epigenetic testing, hypnotherapy, group therapy, peer support, CBT, and other forms of one on one therapy. Clients going through withdrawals are worked with heavily and given the time they need to overcome their suffering so long as doctors can verify that is truely the case. I would reccomend them to people who truely want to get clean as they truely take time to make sure their clients get well and stay well even helping them with employment and lifestyle changes upon completion. The only instance I would not recommend beecon is for those who aren't looking for true sobriety and just want a short program to complete for legal reasons.
My decision to get help came the most important part in my life .I looked up beecon and met them felt right .my mental health has been hurting.they work with me everyday on my needs and the staff is very helpful and caring. I would recommend them for those struggling And ready to get through the additions.
I think everyone here does a fantastic job! My favorite thing is how helpful and willing everyone is. They have done so much to help get my whole list of things and tasks that I needed to complete, done. They have helped with my stress levels so much. The staff are all so caring and willing to help with anything I need.
I went into there treatment expecting to get out and keep using but they showed me my potential the staff has gone through the same experiences as me and actually want to help instead of just take your money it’s an amazing place full of amazing people
Just started treatment with beecon, beecon takes recovery treatment to a whole new level it’s be far the best treatment for addictions. The staff really do support and care about the patients.
I'm a current client at beecon. I love it here. The staff is amazing. I'm finally able to clear my mind and live for today. NO MATTER WHAT!
This is my first week working here as Peer Support. The staff is amazing and so helpful with training. I love the staff and clients already, and look forward to working here and contributing to recovery.
I’ve been talking to a client that goes to this Beecon Recovery - she has been telling me about how the staff there is very knowledgeable about addiction and the recovery process - how they are really caring and how they totally get where she is coming from - how they are teaching her different ways to deal with her cravings, her anxiety, depression and what not other than going back to her drug of choice - I guess they work on these different packets that challenges her to look at her life in a different perspective that encourages her to grow - the program is helping her to face her past and understand her addiction - she was also telling me about how they offer what’s called Sober Living so u have a safe place to live while getting treatment - how they are willing to help you get food, housing, Insurance, etc. I just want to reach out to those who are struggling with addiction to PLEASE go to the Beecon Recovery which is in the basement of the old King’s Building on Main Street and talk to them about it whatever additions you are suffering from…..
Such a great place to work!! The staff is awesome!! And the clients are amazing people!!

I’m happy for the first time and I smile all the time now:) life is good and I’m so grateful to god and for tony and his amazing stuff;) If struggle with depression,anxiety, or Ptsd I highly recommend Beecon! That’s why I went there and I’m so grateful to god for this therapy program
I love working for Beecon. There are so many options for clients beyond the traditional talk therapy. My supervisors are also very considerate and understanding.
I started working at Beecon a few months ago and am absolutely in love with their program and staff! I have been through many treatment programs when I was actively using substances and the approach and care that Beecon use are second to none! If you are struggling please please come see us we would love to help you get your life back!!
I love working for Beecon. I have worked here for over a year. I love the clients and being a part of there recovery. Being in recovery myself helps me understand where addiction can take you. Knowing the pain addiction has caused not only me but my loved ones only makes me want to help others fight and overcome there addictions. Sobriety is possible, happiness is possible!
I love working at Beecon with a phenomenal professional team where I get to witness lasting transformation daily. I get to use my skills as an RN-Certified Hypnotherapist and watch lives change daily.
I came into Beecon wanting to improve my life and heal from addictions. Tony and staff are so GREAT and supportive.the energy here is uplifting I never want to leave.
I have been in recovery at Beecon for just over a month. I am so grateful for Beecon and all of the staff and other clients here. To me, Beecon is more than just a treatment center.. we are like a family here. A big thanks to Tony for starting Beecon Recovery and making it something to look forward to each and every day!
Beecon Recovery has helped me to completely change my life around. Not only has it helped with my drug addiction, it's helped with my mental side as well. It's been a real life changer for me and my kids couldn't be happier that I am back in their lives. Thank you to Beecon Recovery for everything you have done and continue to do to help me out!
Very helpful services at Beecon recovery. Alot better approach there. I went into there in a really bad state in my life and I am doing alot better because of Tony and staff. The services he offers are very different than other treatment centers. He really cares about helping people.
If you are looking for a safe place to understand why you are the way you are and get better, this is your stop. Tony and staff are working from open to close and beyond to provide the best for each and every person, not just as an addict or someone with severe mental health issues, but their own family. Traditional therapy/counseling, just medication, etc didnt work for me so I had to find a different option. Here you will find those different options. From NFT (Nuero Feedback Therapy) to epigenitics testing and more, you surely will find something that you most likley haven't tried or even heard of. Give them a ring to start or even restart your journey to getting healthy and clean.
Amazing place, very beneficial for those in need!! Immediate results, and super friendly.
I've been an addict my whole life and tried all different kinds of treatments. And Beecon Recovery is the only place that has helped me. The only place that actually understands addiction. Beecon Recovery saved my life. Thank you everyone at Beecon Recovery.
Tony really cares about helping people. And at Beecon Recovery they treat you for what YOU need. They know what they are doing. I Highly recommend them.
I received an epigenetics test and zyto scan from Beecon. The information that I received from these tests were fascinating and is helping me with my health and nutrition. I was very impressed with the knowledgeable staff and their kindness.
Beecon recovery has been a blessing to me. I was a complete mess when i went in. With the help of tony and great staff i am so much better now. I feel so grateful and fortunate.Thank you so much!
Beecon Recovery has been a blessing in my life since day one! Tony and the staff are great to work with! If I could give 10 stars I would!!
Beecon Recovery is the best drug and alcohol rehab outpatient center in Northern Utah because they treat their patients with love and their program is top notch because of the 5 well beings. Send your family and friends if someone is struggling in life with any type of drug or alcohol challenges.
