Richard Blair: Building a Path to Recovery on Peji's Recovery Corner

Addicts/ Alcoholics, never give up. There is hope and there is recovery!
What drives someone to dedicate their life to helping others overcome addiction? In this episode of 'Peji's Recovery Corner', host Pej Alaghamandan sits down with Richard Blair, the Founder and CEO of Catalyst Recovery. Richard has spent nearly two decades in the recovery field, facilitating interventions, detoxes, and coaching those struggling with substance abuse. But his journey didn't start in a boardroom; it began with his own battle with addiction.
Richard opens up about his personal struggles and how he found his way to sobriety. He shares the crucial elements that supported his recovery, like structure, routine, and a strong support system. Richard also dives into the benefits of in-home substance use treatment and the role of multidisciplinary teams in fostering recovery. He touches on the often-overlooked impact of addiction on families and emphasizes the importance of community in the healing process.
This conversation is more than just a story; it's a testament to the power of resilience and the importance of addressing underlying issues and trauma. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Richard's insights offer valuable perspectives on the path to sobriety.
