Picture a young boy, barely in the 7th grade, already entangled in the web of addiction. Drew's story is one of those rare, eye-opening tales that make you pause and reflect.
In this episode of 'The Addiction Podcast - Point of No Return', host Joanie Sigal sits down with Drew, a graduate of the Narconon program, who candidly shares his battle with addiction that began with prescription drugs for ADHD and spiraled into a cocktail of substances like meth, coke, ecstasy, and more. Drew's journey isn't just about the substances he used; it's about the complex layers of his life that contributed to his addiction.
An abusive father and anger issues only added fuel to the fire. But what makes Drew's story truly compelling is his path to recovery.

As he poignantly puts it, 'If you get into treatment now and you're in recovery and you're clean and sober, you'll have many, many more holidays to experience'.
