Redefining Addiction Support: The Albertus Project's Mission

We want to equip your loved one with feeling like they don't have to have the world on their shoulder by themselves, and that they're not alone in this.
Imagine losing your best friend to addiction and turning that pain into a mission to help others. That's exactly what Alex Colyer did with the Albertus Project. In this episode of Family Addiction Coaching, host Patrick Doyle chats with Alex about her personal journey through grief and how it inspired her to create a project that offers education, advocacy, and harm reduction for families and friends of those battling addiction.
Alex opens up about the challenges she faced with traditional addiction treatment and the importance of involving not just family, but also close friends and chosen families in the recovery process. This conversation is packed with practical advice for anyone supporting a loved one with addiction, from advocating for better treatment options to understanding the need for comprehensive care.
By sharing her story, Alex aims to redefine how society views addiction and to provide the resources needed to make a real difference. If you're looking for ways to support someone you care about or want to learn more about innovative approaches to addiction recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
