How do individuals turn their lives around after addiction? This episode of the Positive Sobriety Podcast takes a deep dive into the journey beyond treatment, with Nate Larkin and David Hampton chatting with Cooper Zelnick, CEO of Groups Recover Together. Cooper, who got sober at 22, shares his own recovery path and highlights why many struggle after leaving treatment. The discussion unpacks the shortcomings of short-term care and stresses the importance of community and ongoing support in long-term recovery.
Cooper's organisation combines medication-assisted treatment with group therapy and community support to ensure that help is accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation. The conversation also touches on how addiction and recovery can run in social circles, emphasising the power of community in fostering lasting change. As they say, nobody recovers alone, and this episode explores how building supportive networks can transform lives.
If you're curious about how these innovative approaches are shaping the future of addiction recovery, this episode is a must-listen. So, what role can community play in your own journey to sobriety?
