I just wanted to encourage everyone that may be still struggling with addiction or mental health or whatever is going on that you can maintain your sobriety, even when stuff goes bad.
What happens when someone who's battled addiction turns their life around to help others do the same? In this episode of 'This Life #YOULIVE', Dr. Drew and his co-hosts welcome Todd Zalkins, a world-renowned interventionist and filmmaker, to share his compelling story.
Todd, known for his impactful documentary 'The Long Way Back: The Story of Todd ‘Z-Man’ Zalkins', dives into his own struggles with addiction and the path that led him to become a beacon of hope for others in similar battles. The conversation is raw and real, covering everything from the dangers of opiate addiction to the murky waters of patient brokering and prescription drug abuse.
Todd also opens up about the concept of 'rehab shopping' and why educating parents is crucial in the fight against addiction. The team discusses how toxicology reports can be vital tools in addiction treatment, shedding light on their often-overlooked importance. As always, Dr. Drew and his co-hosts provide a platform for honest dialogue, making complex issues accessible and relatable. This episode isn't just about Todd's journey; it's about the broader lessons we can all learn from his experiences.
If you're interested in understanding the nuances of addiction recovery or seeking inspiration from someone who's walked the hard road and come out stronger, this episode is a must-listen.
