Picture this: You're at a crossroads in life, battling addiction and seeking a way out. Enter Devon Wayt, a beacon of hope and resilience, who shares his raw and honest journey on The Illuminate Recovery Podcast. Devon, from Circa Behavioral Healthcare Solutions, opens up about his struggles with addiction, the reality of relapse, and the unconventional paths he took towards recovery.
He doesn't shy away from discussing the tough advice he received, like being told to 'stop hurting your family' if he wanted to continue drinking. Instead, he used it as a catalyst for change.

He also talks about his unexpected move into the operations side of the treatment industry, where he now advocates for better practices and self-care among professionals. This episode isn't just about Devon's story; it's a testament to the power of perseverance and the impact of a strong support system. Whether you're on your own recovery journey, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in mental health advocacy, Devon's insights offer valuable lessons and inspiration.
