Dr. Corey Jentry: A Journey from Addiction to Advocacy

I found different things that I never thought I would like, that I like today, and then, and exactly what you're talking about, to try to study something new, to investigate something different, and you know, and and and then we're we're caught by surprise like, wow, I love this, this is really cool.
What happens when a teenager stumbles into a treatment center, thinking it's just a cool hangout? Dr. Corey Jentry, Chief Marketing Officer at Catalyst Recovery, shares his eye-opening story with hosts Hilary Roberts and Jason Wahler on 'Let the Journey Begin'. Corey initially saw treatment centers as social spots, unaware that his peers were battling addiction. It wasn't until a pivotal moment that he realized he had a serious problem himself.
By 17, Corey was deep into treatment, having lost all prospects due to his substance use. Now, nearly 21 years later, he's built a life so different that he can't imagine returning to his old ways. In this episode, Corey discusses the challenges of admitting you have a problem at a young age and why it's tough to convince younger generations to quit.
He emphasizes the importance of taking recovery one day at a time and how community support and self-care played crucial roles in his journey. Tune in to hear Corey's transformative story and gain insights into the strategies that helped him turn his life around.
