About Us | Behavioral Health Partners Story

Behavioral Health Partners began with a passion for helping those suffering from addiction find their path to recovery. Our founder and managing partner, Adam Vibe Gunton, knows firsthand the challenges of addiction. Once homeless and trapped in the cycle of drug use, Adam’s life transformed on November 6, 2017, when he found recovery. Realizing his purpose, he made it his life’s mission to help others find freedom from addiction, however possible.

This mission led to the creation of Recovered On Purpose, a nonprofit organization that has reached millions online, offering hope, resources, and a message of transformation. Through his work, Adam built a strong reputation in the behavioral health industry, connecting with like-minded individuals who share a vision for accessible, high-quality addiction care.

Among these partners is Adam’s long-time friend and financial partner, David Purinton. David, also in recovery, has established himself in the behavioral health space, specializing in mergers and acquisitions. He successfully opened, scaled, and sold Spero Recovery, bringing his expertise to Behavioral Health Partners. With a deep understanding of what it takes to grow a treatment center, David adds a strategic financial perspective to our team.

Dr. David M. Berry, MD, is another key partner in our journey. As the Medical Director of Recovered On Purpose and Chief of Staff at his hospital in the Southern United States, Dr. Berry brings a blend of medical expertise and a heart for helping those in recovery. His firsthand experience with addiction provides him with a unique insight into the care our clients need.

Trevor Huster, our Creative Partner, began working with Adam in 2016, creating impactful photos and videos that captured the essence of the recovery journey. Now, he uses his expertise to help our clients convey their message to those who need it most. Trevor’s deep understanding of storytelling through visual media allows him to craft content that resonates with those seeking help, amplifying our clients’ reach and connecting them with individuals ready to take their first steps toward recovery.

Frank Hernandez, another long-time friend and partner, is an expert in custom CRM systems, Google Ads, and paid social media campaigns. Frank has built the systems that power Recovered On Purpose and our clients, helping treatment centers bring patients through their doors efficiently and effectively. His expertise in digital strategy ensures that our clients maximize their outreach efforts.

Hristo Bogdanov, our trusted SEO Partner, has been instrumental in growing the organic reach of Recovered On Purpose, achieving a remarkable 5,000% increase in just one year. His expertise in local SEO and content marketing helps our clients attract more eyes to their websites, resulting in increased admissions and census.

Together, we form an unstoppable team, united by a shared mission: to bring high-quality, commercial care to all who need it. At Behavioral Health Partners, we believe that everyone deserves access to the care and support they need for recovery. Guided by our values—Live With Integrity, Serve With Excellence, Change The World—we strive to make a lasting impact on the lives of those we serve and the communities we reach.
