Gary Fisher: Nature's Role in Addiction Recovery and Personal Connection

I think what you guys are doing at Cerc is definitely changing people's life and giving them hope, and, like you said, you talk about joy, because joy is at the end of recovery and sobriety, and isn't that what we really want.
Imagine finding yourself in a career you never planned for, yet making a monumental impact. That's Gary Fisher's story. In this episode of the Illuminate Recovery Podcast, Fisher opens up about his unexpected journey into addiction treatment and his role in building the program at Cirque Lodge. His approach? Toss out the script and focus on genuine human connections. Fisher believes that connecting with individuals and families on a personal level is key to successful recovery.
He also highlights the transformative power of nature in the healing process, emphasizing how outdoor activities can be crucial for patient success. The discussion doesn't stop there; Fisher delves into Cirque Lodge's cash pay model, the influence of private equity in addiction treatment, and the compelling power of personal stories in the recovery journey. By sharing his experiences, Fisher offers a beacon of hope and encourages listeners to see joy as the ultimate goal of recovery.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the nuances of addiction treatment and the profound impact of personal connection and nature on healing.
