Tim Westbrook: From Childhood Trauma to Healing Others

I propose, with a huge diamond ring, get married at a fancy resort and buy five houses in Arizona...The only way I'll consider taking you back is, if you never drink again, go to rehab, stop playing golf. That was my foundation and that was what got me started.
Tim Westbrook's story is a testament to the power of resilience and the human spirit. In this episode of 'Escaping Rock Bottom', host Brandon Lee chats with Tim, the founder and CEO of Camelback Recovery in Phoenix, AZ. Tim opens up about his tumultuous journey, starting with the childhood trauma that led him down a path of addiction. From frequent blackouts to losing jobs and relationships, Tim hit rock bottom multiple times.
But his story doesn't end there; it's just the beginning of a remarkable turnaround. Through a 12-step program and structured sober living, Tim rebuilt his life and went on to create Camelback Recovery, a haven for others battling similar demons. He shares insights into the importance of treating trauma to prevent relapse and how structured environments can make all the difference in early recovery.
Tim also discusses the philosophy behind his treatment programs, emphasizing a holistic approach that treats the whole person, not just the addiction. The episode touches on various paths to recovery, including the role of yoga and spirituality, and tackles the stigma often associated with addiction. Tim's passion for helping others shines through as he talks about his vision for the future and his desire to inspire others to believe in their ability to recover.
If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or trauma, this episode offers a powerful message of hope and resilience.
