The reality is people that come to us, that make that level of commitment. But it took an investment and you know, if I had any important message to send Today, that for you know, for those that can go to a treatment program the first time and get their act together, bravo, good on you.
Imagine being just sixteen and already caught in the grip of heroin addiction. That's the reality Jeff Nash faced. In this episode of 'The Addicted Mind Podcast', Jeff sits down with host Duane Osterlind to share his incredible story of transformation. Raised in Dallas, Jeff's life spiraled into drug use, leading him to try fourteen different treatment programs without success. It wasn't until he found himself in jail at 29, quitting methadone cold-turkey, that he realized something had to change.
This pivotal moment led him to Habilitat in Hawaii, a unique residential treatment program that would change his life forever. Now the executive director, Jeff talks about how Habilitat's holistic approach—focusing on vocational training, emotional intelligence, and criminology theories—helped him and many others find long-term sobriety. He also touches on the challenges of funding such comprehensive programs and the importance of community in recovery.
Jeff's message is one of hope and resilience: recovery is a long-term investment, but it's worth every effort. Tune in to hear Jeff's inspiring journey and learn more about the transformative power of Habilitat.
