Dr. Lauren Millman/Suwanee Spine & Wellness Center
Suwanee Spine and Wellness Center specializes in providing a unique and specialized form of chiropractic known as Upper Cervical care to the Suwanee community and surrounding Gwinnett County. The unique approach is built upon the foundation that unless you correct the underlying cause of your problem, the likelihood of you healing is often slow or non-existent. When you can effectively correct the underlying dysfunction, your body, in turn, can heal. Their spinal care procedure effectively and uniquely evaluates the state of your whole body, which in turn effects your overall health.
Dr. Lauren Millman is the owner and Upper Cervical chiropractor of Suwanee Spine. She specializes on long term body correction and maintaining that proper spinal alignment.

Kelly Moselle/A BlueHorizon Residential Treatment
A BlueHorizon Residential Treatment is a substance use disorders (addiction) intensive treatment program for men and women who suffer from addictive diseases. Services are provided both on an out-patient basis, with or without supervised recovery residence services. Clients work in a community environment with a highly experienced staff and are engaged in a structured treatment regimen that includes evidence-based treatment practices in conjunction with a 12-step based philosophy.
Dana Rider & Kevin Short/My Real Recovery
Real Recovery is a sober living, halfway housing and treatment aftercare program designed specifically for young men ages 18-28 that have struggled with substance abuse and addiction. Situated on seven acres of beautiful riverfront property just north of the mountain city Asheville, North Carolina – it is unlike any other program that exists anywhere in the country.
They take a common sense approach to rehabilitation. Rather than being institutional, they implement a highly structured program in a casual environment. All of their residents have individualized and structured plans in place designed specifically for them by Real Recovery staff. Their clients participate in daily group activities, therapy, community and 12-step applications in a supportive, brotherhood-focused community. Although Real Recovery is a halfway housing provider, their individualized and hands-on approach to the services offered for young men stand out from those of standard halfway house programs across the United States.
What makes them really unique, however, is their belief in teaching young men to live life on life’s terms. Their goal is to instill a love for the life that they have been graciously given. Fun, love and helping others are the answers to a successful rehabilitation at Real Recovery.

Chrissy Brimmage / CHRISSYBRIMMAGE.COM
Artist
Chrissy Brimmage is a self-taught artist currently living, and working, out of Atlanta, GA. Her line-art style was inspired by a dream she had in 2014, following a self-exploration trip to Thailand. The dream consisted of a world of wire-frame figures, prompting her to title her style “Wireframing”. Over time, her style has evolved from mimicking wire-renderings, to her current geometric and crystallized style.
Since her dream, she has used her art as an experimental world to explore her thoughts and feelings on everything from daily occurrences, to emotions and current events.
