Patrick Flanagan, MHA, CIP - Chief Recovery Officer
It does not get much more Irish than Patrick Flanagan! Having spent 20 years in financial services alcoholism took over my life in my early 40’s. After multiple treatment stays I surrendered on Jan 18th, 2019 and have followed a life of recovery laid out by professionals and brothers of AA since. Got a late start but living and working in recovery has given me passion and purpose. Spent 2020 developing The Lion House with a team that shared a common goal to build a recovery home with a positive vibe in a great home. With the LH doing great 2021 was the year to launch The Irishman and Associates. A full service alcohol and drug intervention and case management firm based out of St. Paul MN. Received CIP designation and member of AIS. Certified Intervention Professional and member Association Intervention Specialists. Nov. 2022 we opened Lion House Brownstone Edition a full case management and concierge women's recovery home with a powerful family component. Patrick is a graduate of the University of Minnesota School of Public Health with a Masters of Healthcare Administration. Learning the business side of healthcare has already made him better at helping families navigate the complicated process of recovery.
