Nolen Burchett

Nolen Burchett serves as Chief Operations Officer and Partner for Touchstone Recovery Center, Visalia Recovery Center, Bakersfield Recovery Center, and Shine Mental Health. He is dedicated to building treatment programs that combine clinical excellence with compassion, integrity, and genuine human connection.

Having experienced the life-changing impact of recovery firsthand, Nolen understands that lasting transformation begins with hope and is sustained through accountability, community, and purpose. While engaged in his own long-term recovery, he brings both professional leadership and lived experience to his work, believing that every person deserves the opportunity to rebuild their life regardless of where their journey began.

Throughout his career, Nolen has helped lead the growth of comprehensive behavioral health programs that provide detoxification, residential treatment, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), outpatient services, and integrated mental health care. His leadership philosophy is rooted in the belief that strong organizations exist to serve people—not the other way around. He is committed to creating environments where clients receive exceptional care, staff are empowered to grow, and recovery communities can thrive.

Known for his authenticity, humility, and unwavering commitment to doing the next right thing, Nolen believes that recovery is about far more than abstinence. It is about restoring relationships, discovering purpose, and becoming someone others can trust. He often reminds those he works with that meaningful change is built one intentional decision at a time.

As a partner and executive leader, Nolen remains focused on expanding access to high-quality, evidence-based treatment while preserving the values that make recovery possible: honesty, compassion, accountability, and hope. His mission is simple—to help build organizations that change lives and to ensure every person seeking help is treated with dignity, respect, and the belief that lasting recovery is possible.
