Rob Demeo: Navigating Recovery and Resilience Amidst a Pandemic

Recovery to me is evolution...when I was days clean, if you ever asked me if this is what I was going to be doing with my life, I would've told you I wanted to be a plumber, just working in the field. Um, I don't know many people that went to one program and stopped, uh, and that may be discouraging for a listener right now, that they might be hanging onto the hope that they're going to get their loved one into treatment.
What does it take to rebuild your life after addiction, especially during a pandemic? In this heartfelt episode of 'Collateral Damage', hosts Maureen Cavanagh and Michael Wilson sit down with Rob Demeo, the Outreach Coordinator for Sunrise Detox in Milbury, MA. Rob's story is one of both struggle and triumph.
He opens up about his journey into recovery, the emotional toll of losing his mother during this challenging time, and the innovative ways Sunrise Detox is adapting to the new normal. From MARA meetings to telehealth services, Rob explains how these resources are making a difference for those seeking help. This episode is a candid conversation about the realities of addiction and the resilience needed to overcome it.
Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just looking for inspiration, Rob's story offers a beacon of hope.
