I’m a builder by nature and a strategist by trade. Over the past decade, I’ve scaled brands, developed national growth strategies, and led multi-million-dollar operations across diverse industries, but my true purpose is here: creating an elevated recovery and rehabilitation center that will “strip away the noise of addiction” and reconnect clients to something primal, honest, and healing.
My name is Margo Siewert, and I’m the Co-Founder and Executive Director of Ascent Recovery Centers. This project isn’t just a business to me. It’s a mission. I’m developing a new standard in high-end treatment, one that integrates clinical excellence, lived experience, and aftercare that actually continues after care.
My business background is rooted in growth. In 2019, I co-founded SafePassages Pet Cremation in Indiantown, Florida. Within 18 months, we surpassed $2 million in annual revenue and secured a global distribution agreement with the world’s leading cremation manufacturer, Inciner8. I helped lead statewide expansion, forged strategic partnerships, and earned the trust of over 100 veterinary hospitals throughout Florida.
My professional journey spans luxury hospitality, healthcare marketing, and international brand development across the U.S., Canada, and South America. I’ve launched high-end resort campaigns, directed large-scale product rollouts, and built marketing systems that scale. I understand the operational backbone it takes to grow a business from concept to consistent, profitable reality.
I believe in building businesses that last. I believe in recovery systems that don’t abandon people once they walk out the door. And I believe in setting a new bar for what’s possible in addiction treatment, clinically, operationally, and financially.
Because when business is built with integrity and intention, it becomes more than just profitable, it becomes transformational.

I have dedicated my life to healing and helping others struggling with the same addictions and brokenness that once consumed me.
An Iraqi Veteran who proudly served his country, I came home with medals for service and scars that resulted in destructive behaviors and addiction that caused my life to become entirely unmanageable. Through my pain, I came to the realization that “If I find the way out, I will commit my life to lighting the path for others. I’ll return to the darkness to walk alongside those still lost in it, so that I can show them a way out.” I understand more than most that the first step in reaching out is terrifying, but please know that I will walk with you. I will help you find the path to recovery and healing that you are so deserving of.
I was forged in fire through the suffocating silence of a broken childhood, through the chaos of war, and through the isolating grip of addiction. At eighteen, I deployed to Iraq. I came home with medals for service and wounds no ribbon could name. The military taught me discipline and survival, but no one taught me how to live with the aftermath. What followed were years of struggle, disassociation, alcohol dependency, emotional volatility, and a sense of disconnection so deep it nearly consumed me.
But I didn’t stay broken.
Somewhere in the wreckage of myself, I began to ask different questions, not just “How do I survive?” but “Why and when did I break in the first place? And is it possible to heal?”
That question became my compass. That point of curiosity and desire to know those deepest parts of me.
Today, I am a father, a researcher, a professional life coach, a certified addiction recovery and mental health advisor, and a retired combat veteran committed to reshaping how we understand trauma and healing. I am pursuing a PhD in Clinical Psychology and Neuroscience immediately after I graduate from Keiser, where my aim is to bridge hard science with human experience, to model the mathematics of trauma, predict relapse patterns, and create scalable interventions that save lives.
This isn’t just academic. It’s personal. Every theory I test, every model I build, every client I guide carries the weight of a promise I made to the man I used to be: If I find the way out, I’ll light the path for others. I’ll return to the darkness to walk alongside those still lost in it, so that I can show them A way out.
