Lee Pioske: From Addiction to Leading Crossroads' Recovery Efforts

If somebody has a problem in your family, encourage them to get help, whether it's at crossroads or somewhere, but please do something.
What happens when a life spirals out of control but finds a second chance? In this heartfelt episode of 'Recovery On-Air', hosts Donna and Beth sit down with Lee Pioske, the Executive Director of Crossroads, to explore his remarkable journey. Lee opens up about his tumultuous past, marked by cocaine addiction and incarceration, and how he found hope and transformation at Crossroads.
His story isn't just about personal recovery; it's about the power of community support and the critical role of treatment centers like Crossroads in changing lives. Lee recounts the dark times when his addiction led to criminal behavior and financial ruin, culminating in a prison sentence. But instead of jail, a judge offered him a lifeline: a chance to turn his life around at Crossroads.
This episode dives deep into the challenges Lee faced, the pivotal moments that led to his recovery, and his current mission to help others battling addiction. The conversation also touches on the broader issues facing substance abuse treatment centers, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the rising threat of fentanyl. Lee's candid reflections and unwavering dedication to recovery make this episode a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction.
Whether you're seeking inspiration or practical advice, Lee's story is a powerful reminder that change is possible with the right support.
