ONE CLIENT AT A TIME –
June 20, 2025 – In the ever-evolving world of addiction treatment and mental health advocacy, few figures have had as profound an impact as Ms. Zumwalt. With nearly 30 years of experience and a reputation for innovation, integrity, and unwavering dedication, she stands as a true pioneer in the behavioral health field. Today, she is internationally recognized as one of the top interventionists in the world—Nanette’s journey began in the trenches of inpatient psychiatric care, where she worked as a direct care technician. It was here that her innate empathy and keen insight into human behavior began to shape her mission. Over the years, she rose through the ranks of leading therapeutic programs, eventually discovering a critical gap in care: the transitional period between treatment stages where relapse is most likely.
Determined to fill that void, she founded Hired Power in 2002—an organization that would revolutionize recovery support services. Under her leadership, the company introduced the now-industry-standard concept of sober companions and clinically supervised transitional support. Today, Hired Power remains the gold standard in recovery services, trusted by treatment professionals and families alike.
