The People Behind PIR
Wade Muhlhauser
Founder / CEO
Wade Muhlhauser, the founder of Plugged In Recovery, has a deeply personal connection to addiction and recovery. Once a great student and talented baseball player, Wade’s life took a difficult turn when his minor issue with addiction quickly escalated, impacting his work and relationships.
Wade’s search for help revealed a landscape filled with scams and false promises, making finding genuine help daunting. His battle with addiction eventually led to homelessness, but he found the help he needed in Arizona. This transformative experience inspired him to establish Plugged In Recovery in Scottsdale.
