Noelle Carmen speaks with Discovery Point Retreat alumni, Joy, who shares her harrowing story of recovery and what life has been like following treatment.

This week, host Noelle Carmen sits down with Discovery Point Retreat therapist Shae Harp to discuss some of the challenges people in recovery face during the holiday season.

Host Noelle Carmen speaks with Niznik Behavioral Health VP of Clinical Services Diosa Moran and Discovery Point Retreat Clinical Director Greg Powers to discuss the importance of clinical intervention and treatment of substance abuse disorders.

In this show, we discuss how enablinig can look like love, but actually is a form of control over a friend or loved one that facilitates their addictive behaviors.

Why are boundaries so hard to set sometimes? Too many boundaries keep others at bay, but not having any leaves us vulnerable. Boundaries are as important as the air we breathe. Tune in and find out why!

Cory Newman grew up abroad, and as a young adult lost connections in his life that fueled his addiction. Recovery finally came in his darkest moment, when it seemed it couldn't! Join us as we tell his incredible story.

CEO Jared Hirsch and Philip Van Guilder, Outreach Representative @ Eating Disorder Solutions, join me to discuss how a leadership role requires a servant's heart, which for them means making sure staff and clinicians have the support to operate within best practices. We'll dig into the necessity of treating a person as a whole, not just the chemical addiction itself, and how creating a new direction and purpose for clients allows them to find joy in recovery and in life.

I'm talking to Felicia Dejean, VP of Operations for DPR, about the nature of addiction and the wrongful stigma that often comes with it. We discuss the ways the staff create an environment that fosters mental and emotional health in sobriety, and the benefit for clients of being cared for by staff members who have successfully experienced recovery themselves. We discover what obstacles really keep individuals from reaching out, the subtle way isolation facilitates addiction, and the priceless truth of the well-worn statement "recognizing the need for help really is the first step in turning your life around!"

Noelle Carmen is joined by Nicole Thomas, the Case Manager for Discovery Point Retreat, to clear the air about the harmful roles shame and cultural stigma play in addiction.We talk about treatment from a personal, human perspective, and Nicole gives detailed insight into the commonly-asked-yet-rarely-answered questions and fears every person has at the beginning of their journey to recovery.
