What would you do if your child was caught in the grip of addiction? In this episode of 'The Real HopeCast', Kelli Kinney opens up about her experience as a mother navigating her child's substance use disorder.

She discusses the crucial role of trust and open communication in the parent-child relationship, which became the backbone of her journey. When faced with the heart-wrenching decision to press charges against her own child, Kelli turned to Casey's Law, a Kentucky statute that allows families to seek court-ordered treatment for loved ones unable to recognize their need for help. Beyond the legal aspects, Kelli highlights the importance of medication-assisted therapy, including treatments like Vivitrol, in supporting recovery.
Her candid discussion provides a roadmap for parents in similar situations, emphasizing that seeking help is not a sign of failure but a step toward healing. If you're a parent grappling with a child's addiction or know someone who is, Kelli's story offers hope and practical advice. Tune in to hear how one mother's determination led to advocacy and recovery, making a difference in her community and beyond.
