What if the real trauma begins when you’re not allowed to be yourself? In this powerful conversation, Orlando Andrews shares his deeply personal recovery journey—one shaped by loss, discovery, and bold innovation. From confronting the failures of $60,000 treatment programs with 70% relapse rates, to developing new solutions like the SPARC device, Orlando is pushing the industry to rethink what recovery can look like.

He speaks candidly about the “soul rupture” of operating outside your morality, the dangers of normalized escapism, and the original trauma of being forced to hide your authentic self. But this isn’t just critique—it’s hope. Orlando shows how long-term recovery is possible when we build systems that honor authenticity, address trauma, and provide real tools for healing.

• His vision for Recovery Matters and the future of long-term recovery care
• The original trauma of not being allowed to live authentically
• How PTSD can stem from being forced to act outside your morality
