Don't ever give up on hope. And even if you have to cut off, you know, cut that umbilical cord completely.
Ever thought about how addiction impacts families and communities? In this episode of 'Recovering Hope', host Mark Marcley sits down with Chad Lyons to explore his personal journey through the maze of addiction and recovery. Chad’s path into the recovery world started with his son’s struggle with drug addiction, leading them both to spend significant time in a local halfway house. This experience ignited their passion to help others facing similar battles.
Chad candidly shares his experiences and insights, emphasizing the crucial role of family support in overcoming addiction. He talks about the subtle signs parents and grandparents should watch for, such as changes in behavior and interests, that might indicate a problem. But it’s not just about spotting the signs; it’s also about understanding the underlying issues like trauma.
Chad believes that many people turn to substances as a way to cope with early-life trauma, and addressing these root causes is vital for effective recovery. Another significant point Chad raises is the often-overlooked profit motive in addiction treatment. He argues that too much focus is placed on financial gains rather than genuine recovery. He calls for more research into trauma rates among those struggling with addiction and advocates for a more compassionate approach.
The episode also highlights the urgent need for detox facilities for the uninsured in Wilmington. Chad stresses the importance of having accessible detox services and encourages listeners to use integrated family services in crisis situations. As the episode wraps up, Chad offers a message of unwavering hope, urging those struggling to reach out for help and never give up. His personal phone number is shared as a lifeline for anyone needing support.
This episode of 'Recovering Hope' is a heartfelt conversation filled with practical advice and genuine empathy, making it a must-listen for anyone affected by addiction.
