This was an amazing conversation with Richard Jones (find him on LinkedIn) around the epidemic of addiction in our society. I have personally lost friends and seen parents lose their children. There is no one in America that this is not touching in some form of tragedy. Richard Jones is a light in the dark for me and many as well as a clear voice of what is happening plus what we might do about it. A powerful show, one not to be missed.
Richard offers a reality-based approach to the problem of substance use disorders involving the entire family in the process. Addiction doesn’t happen in a vacuum and recovery should be available to all members of the family. If you have a loved one struggling with addiction contact me to explore options. My mission is to reach out to the 90% of troubled individuals who never receive care. ARISE treats everyone with respect, integrity, love, and compassion. Our goal is individual and family recovery. ARISE interventions: Gets 83% of addicted individuals to enter treatment Achieves 61% sobriety after one year.
Rich Jones is one of the voices we need to hear and heed in this time of crisis.
Addiction is a real problem for all of us, not just the addict. For every addict there are many more people touched by the illness.
