Imagine being sidelined while your loved one battles addiction. In this eye-opening episode of 'Family Addiction Coaching', host Patrick Doyle sits down with health professionals Sean Fogler and Bill Kinkle to discuss how families can be the unsung heroes in recovery.

Patrick dives into the need for a cultural shift that recognizes families as crucial to long-term recovery. From the importance of aftercare to the power of acceptance and listening, this episode sheds light on how family coaching can turn the tide in addiction treatment.
