My goal is to help families and loved ones affected by addiction. I believe in education to aid prevention and advance the recovery of people with substance abuse.
Ever wondered what it takes to bring real change to the addiction treatment landscape? In this eye-opening episode of Real Recovery Talk, Tom Conrad and Ben sit down with Allie Severino, the dynamic host of 'Dope Sick Nation' on VICE. Allie's journey from a troubled teenager to a leading advocate in addiction treatment is nothing short of inspiring. Arrested at 17 for drug use, Allie chose recovery over despair, earning her GED and diving into the world of real estate.
But her true calling emerged when she launched Fresh Start magazine, aiming to provide a voice for those battling addiction. Her passion didn't stop there; she pitched and produced 'Dope Sick Nation', a series that sheds light on America's addiction crisis and the treatment industry's efforts to combat it. In this episode, Allie shares her insights on harm reduction, holistic approaches, and the critical role of education in preventing and treating addiction.
She emphasizes the importance of building strong relationships within the recovery community and offers practical advice for families supporting loved ones through their recovery journey. Whether you're directly affected by addiction or looking to understand more about the treatment landscape, Allie's story offers a blend of hope, practical advice, and a call to action. Tune in to hear how one woman's determination is making waves in the fight against addiction.
