In this episode of Life After Addiction, the hosts tackle some eye-opening statistics about the impact of addiction on families. They highlight the shocking reality that one in three people know someone who has died from a drug overdose, and one in five have lost a family member or close friend to an overdose. The discussion then shifts to the rising number of children living with addicted parents, particularly those aged 6 to 17.
The hosts ponder why this age group is most affected and explore potential reasons, including the increased stress and challenges of parenting during these years. The episode also delves into the dynamics of two-parent versus single-parent households and how addiction impacts these family structures differently. A guest, Isaiah, shares his personal journey through multiple rehabs and emphasises the importance of faith-based recovery. He contrasts secular rehab's 'once an addict, always an addict' mentality with the liberating message of Christ-centred recovery.
The episode wraps up with practical advice for pastors and church leaders on choosing the best long-term treatment facilities for their congregants, stressing the importance of Christ-centred care and community support. This episode is a must-listen for anyone affected by addiction or involved in supporting those on their recovery journey. Tune in for a mix of hard-hitting statistics, personal stories, and practical advice that brings hope and insight into the complex issue of addiction.
