Toby Lawrence on Family Struggles and the Path to Recovery
“When we recover loudly, no one needs suffering silence, and I think what you've just said there and what you touched on earlier about we need to share these stories and have these conversations, because it's the only way that we're going to remove the stigma- and you've been a part of that- by coming on the show Today.”
Ever wondered how addiction affects not just the individual but the entire family? In this heartfelt episode of 'Behind The Smile', Ash Butterss sits down with Toby Lawrence, CEO of Arrow Health, to uncover the profound impact addiction has on families.

They dive deep into the broken mental healthcare system, discussing why it's failing so many and what can be done to fix it. Toby emphasizes the importance of immersive inpatient programs for achieving lasting change and stresses that while addiction is a lifelong battle, freedom is attainable with the right support and processes.
