David Eggers is the founder and CEO of Simple Solutions LLC. Being a native of Lexington Kentucky and being in recovery himself, Dave noticed the lack of structure, love and discipline within the sober living communities. This resulted in him setting out to create recovery housing programs that he could feel good about sending people to. Dave’s vision for intensive outpatient therapy and recovery housing includes an open-minded, integrated and individualized approach addressing the root causes of the clients’ substance use disorder. These services emphasize mind, body and spiritual wellness. utilizing both a client-centered community approach as well as top of the line clinical modalities. Outside of work, Dave enjoys spending time with his fiancé, watching the Green Bay Packers with his son, staying engaged in his own recovery, working out and, of course, watching and cheering on UK basketball. Simple Solutions is an absolute labor of love for Dave and he hopes he will be able to serve his community in this way for years to come.

Administrative Assistant
My goal is to make Simple Solutions the gold standard of recovery in the nation. I believe in the work we do, because I see it in action every day.
I manage our intake line and coordinate transport, ensuring every client receives the care they deserve from day one. Whether it’s refining operations or enhancing client support, I’m committed to making every step of the recovery journey as effective as possible.
I’m studying finance, accounting, and marketing to help us grow the right way—expanding our reach while ensuring clients receive the treatment, structure, and support they need to succeed. Too many companies put profits before care, cutting the resources that truly make a difference. My goal is to ensure we always put clients first.
Our specialized homes are designed to offer a supportive and safe environment where true healing begins. These facilities are carefully crafted to meet the specific needs of those in recovery, providing not just shelter, but a community of support. With a focus on creating a comfortable and secure space, our homes empower residents to focus on their recovery journey, ensuring they have the foundation needed for lasting success.
Our team at Simple Solutions Recovery is here to support you every step of the way. Whether you’re seeking more information about our programs or ready to start your journey to recovery, don’t hesitate to connect with us.
