Healing Sucks

Zach Livingston shares his journey from addiction to becoming an interventionist and recovery coach. He started using alcohol and drugs at a young age and struggled with addiction throughout his life. After multiple treatment attempts and legal troubles, he finally found sobriety and discovered his passion for helping others. As an interventionist and crisis manager, Zach assists families in navigating the recovery process and provides long-term recovery coaching. His work involves pre-planning interventions, conducting crisis management, and offering support to clients and their families. Zach's story highlights the power of using personal experiences to help others and find purpose in recovery. In this conversation, Zach discusses crisis intervention and the role of law enforcement in dangerous situations. He explains that while police are notified, they often have limitations in terms of warrants and probable cause. He mentions that there are intervention companies in every state, but not all are equipped to handle high-risk cases. The conversation then shifts to the fentanyl crisis in the United States, with Zach highlighting the widespread presence of fentanyl in various drugs and the high mortality rates associated with it. He emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach to address the demand for drugs and the importance of open communication and seeking professional guidance for families dealing with addiction. Zach also touches on the genetic component of addiction and the role of family support in recovery.
