Ever grappled with the heartache of watching a loved one struggle with addiction? We have, and this is why we're bringing our personal and professional take on intervention training live to your ears. Together, Matt Brown and Sam Davis, we're peeling back the layers on intervention techniques and real stories from the front lines of addiction recovery. We've had families reach out to us in desperation, and through our Intervention On Call platform, we've witnessed the powerful transformations that occur when guidance meets readiness for change. Our upcoming episode doesn't just discuss intervention training in Portland, Oregon; it's a deep dive into the emotional and practical tools that help families navigate these turbulent waters.
We're also tackling the complex dynamics that addiction weaves into the fabric of a family and the profound impact of setting boundaries. It's a common misconception to believe that the addicted individual is the only one who needs to change. However, we've seen time and again that the ripple effect of setting boundaries can redefine relationships and foster a sense of control amidst chaos. Tune in for candid conversations and insights, from the parallels drawn between a military veteran's experiences with surrender to the unexpected shifts in family roles when recovery begins. Our stories are a testament to the fact that the journey to recovery is not a solo mission but a collective effort, where everyone's growth is paramount.

Ever been stuck in a cycle of manipulation and guilt when dealing with a loved one's addiction? Let's blow the lid off of that with our latest episode of The Party Wreckers podcast. Co-hosts Matt Brown and Sam Davis dissect the well-worn concept of getting your loved ones to admit their addiction and change the narrative. It's not about admitting powerlessness but focusing on the difference your family can make. Intervention shouldn't be a courtroom drama where you bombard them with evidence of addiction, but be a supportive space where the family outlines what they can and cannot do to assist.
Now, let's tackle another elephant in the room - the guilt of setting boundaries with your addicted loved one. Sounds familiar? We'll tell you why it's a game of manipulation and how the elusive question of 'Why?' can become a powerful tool to break it down. It's not enough to want recovery; you have to be willing to take the steps, and we'll show you how this small shift in perspective can lead to massive changes like opting for sobriety. And as we tie up this insightful episode, we share the importance of not enabling addiction, the terrible fallout of doing so, and where you can find support resources for your loved ones. So, sit back, listen, learn, and let's shift the narrative on addiction and recovery together.

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.
