Just untreated trauma is really the gateway and if we really want to solve the drug problem in this country, we have got to have better mental health services provided, whether it's therapy psychiatrist out there to really see those troubling signs of kids.
Sean's story is a testament to the power of resilience and the importance of quality treatment. Growing up with loving parents who were first responders, Sean never experienced severe childhood trauma. Yet, he always felt out of place. This sense of not belonging led him down a dark path, starting with painkillers and eventually spiraling into heroin addiction. His addiction brought him to the brink of death, landing him in the hospital multiple times.
His parents, heartbroken but firm, refused to see him until he committed to getting help. After numerous attempts at various treatment centers, Sean finally found the support he needed at Calvary Healing Center in Arizona. This program didn't just help him get sober; it gave him the tools for long-term recovery. In this episode of 'Escaping Rock Bottom', Brandon Lee, an Emmy Award-winning news anchor and recovering addict himself, shares Sean's inspiring journey.
Brandon highlights how untreated trauma often lies at the root of addiction and emphasizes the critical need for better mental health services. Sean's story underscores the importance of family support, effective addiction treatment, and a strong peer community in overcoming addiction. It's a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, even after hitting rock bottom. Tune in to hear how Sean turned his life around and find hope for those struggling with addiction.
