Ever wondered what it takes to turn a life of addiction into one of hope and healing? In this gripping episode of 'The Party Wreckers', hosts Matt Brown and Sam Davis sit down with Pej Alaghamandan, affectionately known as Pej the Interventionist. Pej's story is nothing short of inspiring; he’s transformed his own struggles with addiction into a mission to help others find their way to recovery.

His firsthand experiences bring a raw authenticity to the discussion, making it clear that these are not just statistics but real lives at stake.
The conversation also touches on the impact of Oregon's Prop 110, which decriminalized certain drugs, and how it has affected the local drug market in Portland. But it’s not all about the big picture. Pej delves into the nitty-gritty of different intervention models, from the Johnson Model to Invitational interventions, shedding light on what works and what doesn’t. He emphasizes the importance of understanding family history and generational trauma in crafting successful interventions.
Through his stories, you’ll get a sense of the delicate balance required in intervention work—it's not just about saving an individual but also about healing families. This episode is packed with valuable insights for anyone touched by addiction, whether directly or indirectly. It’s a must-listen for those seeking to understand the complexities of addiction and recovery, and for anyone looking for a beacon of hope in the often tumultuous journey towards sobriety.
