THE BLURB: Addiction medicine didn’t always exist. The good news: not only does it now exist, but it’s got my friend Dr. Courtney Scott as one of its distinguished leaders.

With over a decade of experience, Dr. Scott is the medical director for more than 25 detox, residential and outpatient substance use disorder – SUD – treatment centers across multiple states. His clinical approach seamlessly integrates addiction medicine with internal and emergency medicine to deliver comperehensive, trauma-informed and medically sound care. In real, practical terms – having been a patient in various emergency rooms while staggeringly intoxicated – what that means is quite simple: Dr. Scott cares deeply about his patients as human beings first and foremost. The individualized detox protocols he’s developed have saved lives. Mine included.

THE BLURB: My friend Diane is something of a sober role model. She's been sober since June 1980 when a ife of alcohol abuse and transporting drugs suddenly crashed in on Diane. She landed in rehab – her first stint there. But, to her absolute surprise, she experienced something profoundly spiritual that completely changed her world.

She discovered a completely new way to live. Sobriety. In this episode, Diane will share not only her story, but her deep passion for volunteering and helping others overcome their addictions and live their best possible lives.

THE BLURB: Shia Blakeny works at the intersection of mental health, addiction and human development – and what happens when that intersection gets complicated.

To that end, Shia has built programs that challenge traditional models of treatment. As CEO of Recover Integrity and cofounder of Antedote Lab, he develops experiential and relational approaches to recovery that are grounded in what Shia calls “right relationships” instead of rigid ideology. His work integrates psychology, spirituality, and culture to rethink how people heal, grow, and live. As someone who’s benefited from what Shia’s done, I can tell you: his work works.
