Charlie McGarty

Founder/CEO

Charlie has worked in the recovery field for many years. He started by creating wellness programs for inpatient treatment centers in 2014. This is where he found his passion for getting the recovery community physically active. Charlie saw there was a huge need for recovery related wellness services. In 2016 he moved to Austin and started working individually with clients at the Townlake YMCA. Charlie founded Active Recovery Coaching in 2017 and opened a 3,000 square-foot facility, where he and other ARC coaches offer individual recovery coaching combined with life skills, nutrition and physical training. ARC also provides wellness programming for treatment centers around Austin, and consults with centers outside the Austin area. Through Charlie’s partnerships with Austin sober living homes, he saw a need for homes specifically catering to wellness and recovery coaching. Active Recovery Homes is the next step in providing wellness programming in the recovery continuum of care.

Keith Morton

Men's operations

Keith Morton is a college graduate with a decade in the hospitality industry, including management. After struggling with addiction for many years, he found his way to the other side and the freedom that only an addiction-free life can provide. He credits his sustained recovery to ARC and its pioneering model of recovery through adopting an active lifestyle. With a strong foundation in the 12 steps, he branched out to grow his recovery. Part of his journey was discovering the value of fitness, concentrating on weights and strength training, and recognizing its part in the holistic approach of mind, body and spirit toward sustained wellness. Today, he applies his personal experiences and his certification as a personal trainer to help guide others who are struggling to navigate the peaks and valleys of early sobriety. He highlights the importance of goal setting and discipline in the gym to help translate these values into the real world.
