Dave's story is one of resilience and transformation. After a back injury spiraled into a decades-long battle with opioid addiction, he faced numerous personal losses, escalating substance misuse, and deteriorating health. In this episode of 'Recovery x APN', hosts Andy Silvagni and Dan Brody sit down with Dave to discuss his tumultuous journey and the turning point that changed everything. As his physical health visibly declined, Dave knew he needed a change.
Entering treatment at All Points North Lodge, he found the support and therapeutic connections he desperately needed. Through process groups and one-on-one therapy, Dave began to rebuild his life, both physically and mentally. He shares how releasing shame and embracing vulnerability helped him reconnect with his family and reshape his life story. This episode is a powerful reminder of the importance of seeking help, committing to recovery, and finding a supportive community.
