The Early Years
Lucas Bennett grew up in a family riddled with substance abuse, facing his own problems in adolescence. Despite these challenges, Lucas found the strength to overcome his struggles and was determined to make a difference.

Cody Curran grew up in a family plagued by mental illness and homelessness. He, too, faced his own battles with substance use but successfully recovered, emerging with a renewed purpose to help others.

Professional Paths Converge
Motivated by their personal experiences, Lucas and Cody pursued careers that would equip them with the skills to make a substantial impact. Cody gained extensive experience in commercial sales, while Lucas became a C-Level executive and serial entrepreneur, launching more than seven companies by his 25th birthday and managing countless others. Both men also served on the board of directors for The Southwest E-Z Duz It Recovery Center, with Lucas as President and Cody as a board member.

A Shared Vision
Disheartened by the shift in recovery practices away from social models and self-help towards primarily medication-based approaches, Lucas and Cody saw a need to address homelessness, addiction, and mental illness using conservative, tried-and-true methods. They envisioned creating programs where people were not just numbers, but part of a family.

Founding A Vision For You
In June 2021, Lucas and Cody, along with founding board members Garry Morris, Paul Cleveland, Douglas Curtsinger, and Kyle Monfort, incorporated A Vision For You. Along with staff members Henry Fuqua, Greg Haynes, and Charles Moore, they launched their flagship program, later named the Surrender Program, a voluntary self-help social model recovery program. This program, grounded in traditional behavior modification and principles adapted from A.A., taught clients personal responsibility, integrity, a relationship with a higher power, and complete abstinence from all mood- or mind-altering substances.

Growth and Expansion
By the end of 2022, A Vision For You had a full census and seven houses. In 2023, they launched an Intensive Outpatient Treatment Program. The summer of 2024 marked a significant milestone as the organization’s services had grown and expanded, leading to confusion and blurred understanding within the community.

Fueled by a desire for public transparency and recognizing that some services were incompatible, the organization rebranded and separated its programs to better serve the community. Our programs now include:

 

MindBodySoul: The rebranded Intensive Outpatient Program.

 

Surrender Program: The flagship voluntary self-help social model recovery program.

Our Commitment Today
Today, our trustees, staff, and officers remain committed to service. We offer a wide range of services through our Chase M. Daub Shelter and Community Center, as well as at our recovery residences and through community outreach initiatives. Whether you are looking for shelter, temporary-permanent recovery housing, meals, education, self-help, or addiction treatment, we have got you covered.

Through these efforts, Lucas and Cody, along with their dedicated team, continue to uphold their commitment to providing compassionate, comprehensive care. They strive to create environments where individuals feel valued, supported, and part of a community dedicated to recovery and personal growth.
