The Addiction Podcast-Point of No Return

This podcast addresses hope and recovery options for individuals, friends, family, parents and associates who have been or may be addicted to opioids, heroin, cocaine, prescription drugs, fentanyl, alcohol, or marijuana and want to overcome the addiction.

There are interviews with former addicts, stories of having gone through numerous failed rehabes, parents and loved ones that describe the horrors and ultimate methods they have sought to save lives and help.

Issues include the changing world of rehab, from 12 step programs to successful and effective alternative approaches to detox, withdrawal, and education for stable life style changes for former addicts. The benefits and dangers of different types of rehab from those that have experienced it.

The “point of no return’ is when the individual has come to a realization that they need and want help.

This is also for friends and family of addicts who are at their wits end and don’t know what to do to help the addict. This podcast gives hope and inspiration for recovery.

Some topics include:
– Where can I get help?
– How do I know if my child or relative or friend is addicted?
– How do I get someone up to realizing they need help?

Landon Korabek's Tragic Story as told by his Mother Jun 13, 2019

Show notes

An interview with Susan Korabek, mother of Landon Korabek.

Landon Korabek was a talented athlete, a bright student, and an extraordinary guitarist. He was full of life and love. His future was bright with possibilities.

Landon died unexpectedly in 2010 at the age of 17 from a prescription drug overdose. Sadly, there is no future now for Landon. Like so many others, he did not understand just how lethal prescription drugs can be. That message needs to be spread.

Landon was not an addict. It took only one lethal mixture of Xanax and Vicodin.

Family and friends established the Landon Korabek Foundation to celebrate Landon's life and shine a light on the prescription drug abuse epidemic. His mother Susan has spoken to thousands of school kids and community events to raise awareness of the abuse of prescription drugs. Here is her story.

Chris' Story Jun 06, 2019

Chris' story at the outset doesn't sound that different than many of the stories we've told on the podcast. What does it take for someone to reach the "point of no return"? In Chris' case it took 7 rehabs, 3 overdoses and 4 stints in jail to get there. But once he did, and arrived at Narconon Suncoast, he changed his life for good. He has been clean and sober for 3 years - has a wife, a son and a new life.

Dave Chase - the Opioid Crisis Wake-up Call May 09, 2019

Show notes

Today's episode is an interview with author Dave Chase. His latest book focuses on the Opioid Crisis. The opioid crisis is not an anomaly. Instead, it's a self-inflicted wound, driven by a catastrophically dysfunctional health care system, leading to what has become the largest public health crisis in 100 years. Fortunately, proven antidotes exist -- all created and spearheaded by forward-looking citizen leaders and employers.

Diane Stein - Dangers of Psychotropic Drugs May 02, 2019

Show notes

Diane Stein is the President of Citizens Commission on Human Rights in Florida. She adds a unique perspective on the role that psychiatric mind-altering drugs play in the addiction epidemic we face today. It's not a small role and if psychiatry has it's way, addiction will be labeled as a brain disease and treatable only with further medication. Substituting one drug for another will not result in a sober individual.
