Charting a Course Through Addiction with Family at the Helm
The Party Wreckers
04/22/24 • 36 min
We want to hear from you! Send us a question or comment.
Embarking on a heartfelt journey through the world of addiction and recovery, Sam arrived in Houston to be inspired by Brené Brown's powerful dialogue on vulnerability and shame. With that energy, we bring you an episode that not only educates but also provides a guiding light for families navigating the intervention process. RuthAnn Rigby and Eric Button, two luminaries in the field, are names you might hear us mention as we recount the vibrant recovery landscape of Houston, and tease potential future dialogues with such esteemed colleagues.
As your guides, we lay bare the misconception that interventions are battlegrounds, and instead, illuminate them as beacons of compassion where families learn to set boundaries and strategies for enduring wellness. Imagine a roadmap that leads beyond the threshold of treatment facilities and stretches into the vast terrain of lifelong recovery. That's the vision we share with you, reinforced by insights and real-life experiences that shape our discussion on how to support not just the individual in treatment but the entire family unit on their collective journey to healing.
Finally, the episode takes a deeper look at the transformation within families as they engage with the intervention process. The atmosphere leading up to intervention day is fraught with anticipation, but we discuss how families can remain unshaken, even when facing the storms of manipulation or debate. We also reflect on the profound influence of Brené Brown's teachings, underscoring the importance of combating shame and embracing authenticity for true healing. Join us for this episode where wisdom, passion, and the pursuit of a shame-free existence converge to empower you and your loved ones on the path to recovery.

Navigating the Storm: Insights into Substance Abuse and Family Interventions with Pej Alaghamandan
The Party Wreckers
08/15/23 • 43 min
We want to hear from you! Send us a question or comment.
From the throes of addiction to becoming a beacon of hope for others, our esteemed guest, Pej the Interventionist, is here to share his riveting journey. Imagine what it feels like to rise from the ashes of your own struggle, only to become an interventionist. Pej's transformative life story is a testament to resilience and the human spirit's ability to overcome adversity.
In a society where drugs like methamphetamine and Fentanyl are alarmingly on the rise, Pej unfolds the ramifications of these evolving trends in substance abuse treatment. We discuss prop 110 from an on-the-ground view of how the decriminalization of drugs in Oregon has sent shockwaves through the Portland drug market. Listen in as he demystifies the complexities of intervening with individuals using methamphetamine and those in psychosis, accentuating the crucial role that law enforcement plays in these challenging situations.
Shifting focus from societal trends to individual battles, we break down different intervention models — from the Johnson Model to Invitational interventions. Pej brings out the significance of understanding family history and dealing with generational trauma in executing successful interventions. Throughout our conversation, it becomes evident that interventions are not just about rescuing an individual from the clutches of addiction, but also about healing families caught in this destructive cycle. Join us for a poignant exploration into the world of interventions and their indispensable contribution to addiction treatment.

Busting the Myths of Control and Pride in Addiction Recovery
The Party Wreckers
07/26/23 • 33 min
We want to hear from you! Send us a question or comment.
As hosts, Matt and Sam, we take you into the heart of family interventions and the gritty journey towards addiction recovery. Ever wondered how the relentless grip of addiction affects not just the individual but the entire family? We draw from personal experiences, shedding light on interventions where pride and ego serve as stumbling blocks on the road to recovery.
In an honest discussion, we explore the complexities of pride, control, and the illusion of handling it all when in the throes of addiction. We share moments from our own lives when our self-worth stood at odds with the humility needed to accept help. With a candid look back at our past careers in the tough industry of logging, we discuss the pressure to succeed and the toll it can take on an individual and their family.
Wrapping it up, we share insights on the challenges faced during interventions and the paramount role honesty plays in recovery. As we reveal, it's easy to lose sight of the issue amidst the noise created by active alcoholics and addicts. But here's the catch - sometimes, letting go of control proves to be the most effective approach in dealing with addiction. Listen in as we learn together that in this challenging journey of recovery, your story might just find echoes in ours.
