If you don't have someone beside you who's going to be talking out of a negative decision...then there's no safeguards in place.
Ever wondered how a long-term recovery program can transform lives? Meet Chris Schultz, a graduate of the John Volken Academy who now serves as a program director. In this episode, Chris opens up about his journey from addiction to becoming a guiding light for others. The John Volken Academy offers a unique two-year program that focuses on mind, body, and spirit, and Chris's story is a testament to its effectiveness.
From the moment students enter the academy, they are paired with mentors who provide constant support and guidance. These 'shadows' help students navigate daily challenges and stay on track with their recovery goals. Progress reports and regular meetings are key elements that ensure accountability and foster growth. But it's not just about staying sober; the academy aims to help students rebuild their lives entirely.
With world-class facilities and a focus on education, students like Chris emerge as responsible, productive members of society. By the end of their journey, many become mentors themselves, paying it forward by supporting new students. Chris's transformation from a struggling addict to a program director is both inspiring and hopeful. His story highlights the power of community, accountability, and holistic recovery. If you're curious about how structured support can make a difference, this episode is a must-listen.
