Wes Hurt: Clean Cause and the Economics of Recovery

We think of addiction treatment as some kind of end game or correction. When, in fact, it needs to be addressed when it's a chronic condition.
Ever wondered how a simple beverage can make a massive impact on addiction recovery? In this episode of 'Rehab Confidential', hosts Joe Schrank and Amy Dresner sit down with Wes Hurt, the founder of Clean Cause. Wes shares his gripping journey from battling addiction to launching a Yerba mate drink that donates half its profits to support those in recovery.
This isn't just another business success story; it's a testament to the power of community and innovative thinking in tackling addiction. Joe and Amy dive deep into why recovering individuals often don't financially back recovery efforts and how Clean Cause is trying to change that narrative. They also discuss the broader implications of valuing mental health across all sectors and reframing addiction as a chronic condition that requires ongoing support.
If you're curious about how private enterprises can offer solutions to public health problems, this episode is a must-listen. With a mix of personal anecdotes, expert insights, and a dash of humor, you'll walk away with a fresh perspective on the economics of recovery.
