Grab your favorite coffee or tea and join the APC Recovery Cafe for a compelling conversation with Roger Patteson. Roger, an interventionist with Clear Path Interventions and someone who has been sober for 22 years, shares his personal journey from early childhood instability to overcoming substance use disorder. He started drinking at age 13, and by 15, he was already worried about his excessive drinking.
Today, Roger dedicates his life to helping families navigate the challenges of addiction and find hope in recovery. He emphasizes that interventions should be seen as opportunities for improvement rather than punishment, and he spends countless hours working with families to restore their ability to function and improve their quality of life. Roger's story is not just about his own recovery but also about empowering families to support their loved ones through the difficult journey of addiction.
Tune in to hear Roger's insights on setting boundaries, reframing interventions, and the transformative power of community support. This episode offers valuable resources and heartfelt encouragement for anyone touched by addiction.
