It's sort of a grassroots movement where we can just keep trying to organically reach more people and get more people on board and really change the narrative of what's happening in the world.
What does it take to turn a life marked by heroin addiction into one of advocacy and leadership? In this episode of 'The Elevate Experience', Sarah Spier, a Director at one of Washington State's largest adolescent substance abuse and mental health treatment facilities, opens up about her harrowing journey through heroin addiction and her path to recovery.
Sarah shares the raw and real challenges she faced during her addiction, providing a candid look into the dark corners of the opioid epidemic. With Fentanyl now being the leading cause of death among US adults aged 18-45, her insights are more relevant than ever. Sarah doesn't just stop at recounting her struggles; she delves into the shortcomings of the healthcare system that often hinder effective treatment.
She highlights the importance of a strong support system and discusses how mindfulness and neuroscience can play crucial roles in overcoming addiction.

Listeners will find themselves drawn into Sarah's narrative, as she discusses grassroots movements that aim to change the narrative surrounding addiction. This episode offers not just inspiration but also practical insights into the benefits of mindfulness and an outcomes-based approach to treatment.
Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself, supporting a loved one, or simply seeking to understand more about this pressing issue, Sarah's journey provides a beacon of hope and a call to action. Tune in to hear Sarah Spier's compelling story and gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of addiction and recovery.
