Matt & Sam Discuss the most commonly encountered dysfunctional issues within family systems that can complicate the intervention process.

• How to spot an "all-star" treatment program and the people that work there.
• How do we deal with divorced families who have parents or step-parents who are angry at each other?
• How do we work with families where one or more person at the intervention has an addiction of their own?
• How do we deal with families where a parent or other family member has a history of abuse with the addicted individual?
• The "Leave it to Beaver" family has never really existed.
• How do they help families where other siblings harbor legitimate resentment and anger towards their addicted brother or sister?
• Are you willing to come on the podcast with us and discuss your family's issues and let us try to help you?

Ever grappled with the harsh reality of addiction within your family? Struggled to find the strength to aid your loved one on their long road to recovery? We engage in a heartfelt conversation with Family Recovery Coach, Darryl Rodgers who takes us on an emotional rollercoaster of his personal journey from confronting his son's addiction to becoming a beacon of hope for other families entangled in similar scenarios.
Having experienced the ravages of addiction firsthand, Darryl enlightens us on the initial struggles with drug abuse, the criticality of intervention, and the unyielding battle to maintain sobriety. He articulates the profound effects of addiction on marriage and the significance of setting high, yet achievable expectations for recovering individuals. Darryl’s narrative underlines the importance of allowing our children to learn from their own mistakes and not live vicariously through them.
In an inspiring about-turn, Darryl reveals how he transformed his personal tragedy into a force for good. He shares how his faith served as a sanctuary in times of grief and loss, and how he used his painful experience to guide others, by becoming a Family Recovery Coach and a public speaker. In this journey, he discovered the power of forgiveness and the impact it can have on the process of healing and recovery. This episode is a testament to the human spirit's resilience and its capacity to turn adversity into a life mission. So, join us on this enlightening discussion about loss, addiction, purpose, and the liberating power of forgiveness with our insightful guest, Darryl Rodgers.

Matt shares findings from a comprehensive National Institutes of Health study revealing why doctors struggle to treat addiction effectively and the alarming gap between those who need help and those who receive it.

• 81% of doctors cite lack of institutional support as the main barrier to treating addiction
• 74% of physicians acknowledge insufficient skill sets for addiction treatment
• 66% of studies identified negative social stigma as a significant deterrent
• 56% of doctors fear damaging patient relationships by addressing addiction
• In 2022, 49 million Americans had substance use disorders, but only 13 million received treatment
• Of 9 million people with opioid use disorder, only 25% received medication-assisted treatment
• Treatment demand significantly exceeds available capacity across the country
• Political solutions and policy changes have often fallen short of addressing core issues
