From Addiction to Redemption: Mike Haws and the Red Barn Community

At the end of the day, all these guys want is what I believe is the solution for addiction, which is human connection.
What if recovery didn't come with a price tag but required a commitment instead? In this episode of the SOAR podcast, Dustin and Don sit down with Mike Haws, the visionary behind the Red Barn Therapeutic Community. This unique community offers a haven for those battling addiction, asking only for a two-year dedication to its program. Mike shares his inspiring journey of creating Red Barn, emphasizing the power of human connection and discipline in the recovery process.
He opens up about the therapeutic community model, where members support each other through structured routines and shared experiences. Mike also touches on how personal tragedy can fuel addiction and the essential role of clinical support in overcoming it. At Red Barn, the focus is on breaking down individuals and rebuilding them with a solid support system. Mike discusses the challenges of active listening and how it plays a crucial part in motivating members.
If you're curious about alternative approaches to addiction recovery or looking for inspiration, this episode offers valuable insights into a community-driven path to sobriety.
