Mike Murphy

Mike Murphy is the operational backbone of Prescott House, but his connection to the program goes far deeper than spreadsheets and systems. Mike arrived at Prescott House as a client in November 2014, which remains his clean date today.

After earning his BS in Business Administration from York College of Pennsylvania in 2009, Mike found himself caught in the cycle of addiction. Like many young men, Mike tried standard 30-day treatments and outpatient programs, but they never stuck. They either isolated him in a bubble and dropped him back into the real world, or they lacked the clinical depth to address his root causes. Prescott House was different. It offered a crucial transitional model: the ability to get a job and integrate into the local community, all while being held highly accountable by a clinical team. By building a real life and a lifelong 12-step network while still in treatment, Mike finally found a recovery that lasted.

Believing fiercely in the Prescott House model, Mike joined the staff in 2016 as an overnight behavioral health technician. As he worked his way up, he began applying his business degree and passion for technology to modernize the facility. Over the years, Mike has transformed the organization’s back-end—facilitating its first 401k and employee health insurance plans, bringing payroll in-house, and implementing a new electronic health record (EHR) system.

Today, as Business Administrator, Mike wears many hats, from HR and financial management to digital marketing and IT operations. He works tirelessly behind the scenes so the clinical team can focus entirely on the clients. For Mike, keeping Prescott House running smoothly isn't just a job; it is his way of ensuring the program that saved his life continues to help other men build theirs.
