And when should we be concerned? Dr. Joseph Lee, psychiatrist and CEO of Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, shares all.

William Moyers was one of the lucky ones. Sober for decades after years of addiction to alcohol and crack cocaine, he became a model of success and redemption. He started working at the Hazelden Betty Ford, and in 2006, he published a vulnerable memoir, “Broken,” about his journey out of addiction. But then he was prescribed pain killers after some dental work. And he found himself addicted again. Only this time, he had a public persona. People looked to him for hope. And he found opioids a much harder substance to break free from. What happened next is captured in his new memoir, “Broken Open: What Painkillers Taught Me about Life and Recovery.” Moyers said it changed his focus from sobriety to recovery, and it caused him to rethink how addicts can get there. This week, he joins host Kerri Miller in the studio for an conversation about what true recovery looks like. “It's really messy,” he says. “It's particularly messy for those of us who are public advocates for organizations like Hazelden Betty Ford who are putting their stories out there to inspire others to get well. My story has helped thousands and thousands of people, and I'm glad for it. But there's more to it, which is why I have to tell this story.” Guest: William C. Moyers is the vice president of public affairs and community relations at the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation. His new memoir “Broken Open: What Painkillers Taught Me about Life and Recovery.”Subscribe to Big Books and Bold Ideas with Kerri Miller on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, RSS or anywhere you get your podcasts.Subscribe to the Thread newsletter for the latest book and author news and must-read recommendations.

Alta DeRoo, MD, MBA, FACOG, DFASAM, joins host, Zach, to talk about her experience in the US Navy (USN) and her path to practicing OBGYN and addiction medicine. She discusses the intersection of general medicine or primary specialty practice and addiction and shares her perspectives on stigma related to addiction. Dr. DeRoo explains the potential challenges of transitioning from active duty to veteran status and how these can sometimes lead to substance use, addiction, or mental health issues. Finally, she shares what inspired (and continues to inspire) her sense of service and offers advice to the next generation of addiction medicine specialists. Dr. DeRoo's father was active-duty Navy when she was born on Midway Island in the South Pacific. A sense of service was branded in her character, and after earning a BA in psychology from Connecticut College, she joined the Navy and served for 24 years. She was selected for combat Naval Aviation and was among the first cohort of women to fly in combat. Dr. DeRoo was the first female in her community of the E2C Hawkeye, a carrier airborne early warning plane. (They have a short cameo in Top Gun, but you would not see Mav flying her plane.) After 8 years of aviation and over 40 combat missions, Dr. DeRoo was awarded a scholarship to attend medical school. After graduating from the University of Florida College of Medicine, she completed residency in OBGYN. She completed several missions, including Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and 5 deployments on the USNS Mercy performing surgeries in Singapore, Vietnam, and the Philippines, and she was the mission commander of a Papua, New Guinea mission. Dr. DeRoo became very aware of the alcohol and drugs that sailors and soldiers used on deployment (for various reasons). Her father was also one of these sailors who eventually developed alcohol use disorder. From his stories and the stories of her shipmates and battle buddies, she became very interested in the science of addiction. Her Commanding Officer at the time allowed her to moonlight at a nearby methadone clinic, which was the beginning of her career in addiction medicine. Dr. DeRoo later became board certified in addiction medicine and practiced both OBGYN and addiction medicine. She retired from the USN to Culpeper, VA, where she started the county's first ever OBOT with their Community Services Board, started treating pregnant women with SUD, and incorporated this into a clinic in her town. Through aggressive naloxone distribution and OUD treatment, they were able to decrease their opioid overdose rate between 2016-2018. It was during this time Dr. DeRoo also became interested in the Virginia Chapter of ASAM. She served as secretary for two years, then president elect in 2020. The only thing that drew her away from serving as president in 2020 was a job opportunity that, to her, was a calling. She was asked to be the medical director of the Betty Ford Center and all California sites. She made dramatic changes there and was promoted to chief medical officer of the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation and their 16 sites across the US. During this time, she also earned an MBA from the University of Virginia and became a Distinguished Fellow of ASAM.   Virginia Society of Addiction Medicine (VASAM) American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation Distinguished Fellows of ASAM (DFASAM) If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, you are not alone.

Bestselling author and national recovery advocate William Cope Moyers shares his journey of recovery, which began in 1989, and his unexpected encounter with prescribed pain medication in 2012. Despite having decades of sobriety and a wealth of recovery capital, Moyers struggled for a few years with addiction to painkillers following significant dental surgery. He highlights the complexities of addiction, the importance of anti-craving medications like Suboxone, and the stigma surrounding them. This episode explores Moyers' path to finding stability again and underscores the message that recovery is not a linear journey.

Addiction was seen as a moral failing in 1949 when what's now the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation opened its sanctuary for alcoholic men in Center City, Minn. In the 75 years since then, much has been learned about what leaves people vulnerable to substance use disorders. At least some of the stigma connected to addiction has lifted. And, there's more understanding about what helps people through addiction — including medications and a strong community. MPR News host Angela Davis talks with Hazelden's CEO Dr. Joseph Lee as the organization marks its 75th anniversary about how treatment and attitudes toward addiction have changed and about how people can get help today.Guest: Dr. Joseph Lee is the president and chief executive officer of the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation based in Center City, Minn. He's a child and adult psychiatrist and board certified in addiction medicine. He previously served as medical director for the organization's National Youth Continuum. He's also the author of “Recovering My Kid: Parenting Young Adults in Treatment and Beyond,” a practical guide for parental leadership in times of crisis.Subscribe to the MPR News with Angela Davis podcast on: Apple Podcasts, Spotify or RSS.  Use the audio player above to listen to the full conversation.

In this episode, a look at adult people that grew up in an addictive or dysfunctional family. Because if you did, there is a good chance you might have an anxiety condition or a related mental health problem.   How do you get to be an adult child of a dysfunctional family. There are many pathways.    Many are raised in an abusive or addictive family. Others are raised in a generational trauma system.    Some people are raised by adults who do not have a clue about how to be a parent because they were never taught or exposed to a healthy, stable or loving environment.   It isn't about poverty or wealth. Education is not a guarantee of being a good parent. Nor religion or faith. Or the lack of it.    It helps, but if you have taking a glance at the news, a Utah woman with a social media following pled guilty to committed serious crimes against two of her children.   In 2034 they will become members of Adult Children of Dysfunctional Families.

Matthew Perry wrote about his issues with addiction to alcohol and drugs. In his memoir, he said he began drinking at 14 and was an alcoholic by 18. Perry first went to rehab and completed a 28-day program at the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation after a jet-ski accident led to an addiction to Vicodin. In his 2022 memoir, "Friends, Lovers, and the Big, Terrible Thing," Perry claimed to have been to rehab 15 times, detoxed 65 times, and spent about $7 to $9 million trying to get sober.     After years of addiction, Matthew Perry spent 5-months in the hospital after his colon burst from prolonged opioid abuse. Perry says he was in surgery for seven hours and in a coma for two weeks. Doctors told his family he had a 2% chance of survival. After leaving the hospital, Perry used a colostomy bag for months.   Two years after his near-death experience, Matthew Perry goes to a Rehab facility in Switzerland. He wrote that he faked pain symptoms to get Oxycontin during COVID. He was also getting daily Ketamine infusions. While at the facility, Perry needed to have surgery and was given propofol. When he woke up 11 hours later, he found out his heart had stopped for 5 minutes and during the long CPR process 8 of his ribs were broken. The doctor then refused more meds.   On October 28, Matthew Perry went to his country club to play a game of Pickleball with friends. Perry returned to his home after the game and was seen by his assistant, who was leaving the house to run errands. At 4 p.m., the assistant returned home and found Perry floating face down in the heated end of the pool.  Paramedics pulled Perry out of the pool and pronounced him dead at the scene. The DailyMail reports the actor died from an overdose of the "party drug ketamine."  Joining Nancy Grace Today:  Wendy Patrick – California Prosecutor, Author of “Why Bad Looks Good” and “Red Flags,” and Host of “Today with Dr. Wendy” on KCBQ in San Diego; Twitter: @WendyPatrickPHD Caryn L.

What if you had a roadmap to guide you through the intricate maze of sales, leadership, and business growth? How about if you could get that advice straight from a top industry expert? That's exactly what you'll get from our conversation with Bob Poznanovich, Chief Business Growth Officer at the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation.

It's a compelling story of metamorphosis, from his role as Vice President of Marketing and Business Development to a leader who shapes organic growth and sees challenges as entrepreneurial opportunities. Transitioning from salesperson to sales manager and eventually, a leader, isn't a stroll in the park. This week, we unlock the strategies that helped Bob successfully navigate this journey. Sharing his experience in anticipating market trends and implementing creative go-to-market strategies, Bob gives listeners invaluable insights on maximizing current capacity, while also exploring new revenue opportunities. He also candidly discusses the challenges of aligning an organization and cultivating a growth mindset, with plenty of practical tips on how to transform strategic goals into actionable successes.  The final segment brings a riveting discussion on healthcare innovation. Bob delves into his experience of product development from the PC era to the launch of a virtual care product in 2020. He gives a glimpse into the future as he talks about his collaboration with Apple, the potential of AI and wearables in healthcare, and how patient feedback can shape better outcomes. With his deep understanding of customer needs and strategies to overcome their resistance to change, it's a goldmine of knowledge for anyone interested in sales, business growth, and healthcare innovation. Join us this week for an episode packed with professional insights, personal experiences, and inspiring leadership lessons. As the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation's chief business growth officer, Bob Poznanovich is responsible for bridging the gap between product development, marketing and sales to help the nonprofit reach more people with its lifesaving substance use and mental health care and resources. Prior to joining Hazelden Betty Ford, Poznanovich co-founded and served as the CEO of AiR Healthcare—a behavioral health organization that provides solutions to individuals, families and employers dealing with behavioral health issues. Before that, he spent over 20 years as a senior business development executive in the technology industry. He is co-author of the Hazelden Publishing title, It Is Not Okay to be a Cannibal: How to Stop Addiction from Eating Your Family Alive.  Quotes: "I've done a lot of work not only perfecting the sales perspective, but also the buying perspective"  "Not many people talk about selling as a buyer, as opposed to selling as a salesman… there is there is a psychological buying process that people go through when they're making a decision."  "I think if you look at that way to being innovative in the area of growth, of selling to more, which is looking at products and services that we don't have. So part of this vision was that we've got to create x number of millions of dollars in growth over the next year for products and services that don't exist while we're also selling and maximizing the capacity of what we currently have and then looking for ways to get more value so we could sell for more." "And when you go to customer one, he goes, I got this problem. Go to customer two, I say, I got this problem. I could say to customer two, what about customer one's example, right? Do you have that problem, too, right? Now, when I go to see a third guy, I got three problems tee up, right, his plus the previous two. And I could start this dialogue where I get smarter in every sales call I get to see that the patterns and opportunities exist." "I think in any sales job, no matter what you're selling, your biggest competitor is always willingness to change." "We need to invest in more personalization of healthcare. So the tools that allow us to personalize care, to personalize the initiative, to deliver care personalized, to use real feedback from wearables, I think, is the next area, I think, to get past some of this denial."

Well, it's just the two of us again and we actually had quite a bit to talk about. Mike did his reading and it was about choices. They are lost while we are drinking, but when we get sober, we have a "sense' of choice again. It was a good reading and a good discussion. It's October, the tenth month, so we dove into the 10th Step. Personally, we both feel like this step is a big one and we talked about when we started practicing it, how it has helped us and maybe even makes us better people. We did a recap of Mike and Chris' time at Cinema Wasteland last weekend and some people approached Mike again about the podcast. And... we have now partnered with the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, to accept donations for them through our website. Check it out at www.sobernotmature.com The last thing we touched on was placing reasons on why "we" drink and why "we" become alcoholics. We have some opinions and as always, they are just our opinions. Enjoy the episode. Visit us Podcast  www.sobernotmature.com Store  www.sobernotmatureshop.com

Every Wednesday on MPR News with Angela Davis, you can listen to in depth conversations on wellness topics. This week, Angela shares highlights from two favorite Wellness Wednesday shows. Nearly 30 million Americans suffer from hearing loss but only about one-fifth use hearing aids, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. In the first Wellness Wednesday segment, listen to how the FDA approving over-the-counter hearing aids could improve people's access to the medical devices.  In the second segment, an alcohol and addiction treatment specialist talks about his recovery and another expert talks about how our brains create addiction patterns. In 2021, 1,162 Minnesotans died of alcohol-related deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That's a record number that doesn't include deaths from drunk driving. That's also more than the number of homicides and suicides combined for that year.  Guests: Peggy Nelson is a professor in the Department of Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences at the University of Minnesota. She teaches audiology courses and has researched how to make hearing aids more effective in daily settings.  Rachel Allgor is an audiologist with Audiology Concepts, a clinic in Edina.

Tom Gentry is an internationally-certified alcohol and drug counselor who has spent more than 20 years working with people and families affected by addiction. The heart of his work has been helping men navigate the terrain between early stages of abstinence and long-term recovery. After beginning his career at the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, he helped create the Sanctuary in Delray Beach. He served as its program director for five years, before joining the business development team at Cumberland Heights right here in Nashville, Tennessee.

When a loved one struggles with addiction, the whole family struggles too. Family members may worry that they caused, or at least contributed to, the addiction. Or they may fear that if they urge treatment, they somehow will be blamed. They almost always grapple with how to show love while still recognizing that limits and consequences are part of love. Although families may be reluctant to name it, their greatest fear is that their loved one will die.   Jessica Garrison, certified drug and alcohol counselor with Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, confronts all of these challenges in her discussion with Marti & Erin. She also highlights ways families can support their own healing and sustain hope, even through the “one step back” that often follows two steps forward. Thank you to Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, a longterm supporting partner of Mom Enough, for providing this guest.   WHAT STEPS CAN YOU TAKE TO COPE WITH A LOVED ONE'S ADDICTION?

Silence about these challenges among veterans is dangerous— both for veterans and for the people who love them. We hope our work will inspire and inform a new conversation about what pain and addiction are, how these things show up in veterans' lives, and how to cope and recover in healthy and productive ways.”   – Dustin & Kerry Brockberg

Countless families have a loved one struggling with both mental health and substance use concerns. Many families struggle to find healthy ways to help their loved one without sacrificing their own health and wellbeing in the process.

She highlights the parallel processes that often occur – for example, a son lying about his substance use and other families in turn lying about why he didn't show up for an important event. Sarah challenges parents to get rid of the idea that “You are only as happy as your least happy child,” urging parents to build community that will help to buffer the effects of your loved one's choices on your own wellbeing. You will welcome the concrete advice Sarah brings about when and how to confront your loved one and how to set clear boundaries for yourself without trying to control that person's behavior.

Sarah Schwalbach offers great tips for “striking while the iron is cool” rather than hot. What does that mean in the context of communicating with a loved one struggling with substance use, and what specific tips did Sarah provide for being most effective in encouraging your loved one to accept help and begin to make healthy choices?   WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE? ❉ HOPE FOR FAMILIES FACING ADDICTION: EXPERT ADVICE FROM HAZELDEN BETTY FORD FOUNDATION. Kate Roselle, licensed clinical counselor and national outreach manager for Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation's adolescent and young adult continuum of care, joins Mom Enough for a compelling discussion on families facing addiction.

He has crafted CordBrick from conception to launch and through its early-stage investment rounds. His plans include expanding on his product line and building a disruptive brand that makes a positive impact on individual lives and the world. A Penn State Graduate, Nick is an Eagle Scout and was the third-place finisher in a Florida Atlantic University business plan competition. In March 2017, punctuated by a 3rd drunk driving charge, Nick was offered (and accepted) a helping hand with the opportunity to attend Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation in Naples, where he began his recovery journey, now more than five years since his last drink. Nick credits Hazelden, but especially the local men and women of his Alcoholics Anonymous groups who have helped him change his perspective and who taught him, among many things, that by focusing on the day and moment at hand joy, serenity, and peace can be obtained. Nick's experiences eventually hardened into a drive to launch his own venture. In June of 2020, Nick began developing CordBrick, a device for holding and wrapping electronic charging cords, and launched CordBrick LLC in September with a small personal savings account and family investors. Nick sought intellectual property protection and began prototyping and product testing.

Marijuana and cannabis are all over the news these days. Legalization of THC products has occurred in many states across the country, and while the goal is to decrimanlize a substance with history disporportionately putting people of color in prison, the end result is that cannabis products of all kinds are more widely available and can more easily end up reaching our adolescent patients.

Nora has practiced as an employment law attorney and certified mediator and has served as a Professor at both Stetson University College of Law and the University of South Florida, teaching courses in alternative dispute resolution and negotiation. As a licensed attorney for more than 25 years, she understands the frustrations attorneys face every day and is committed to helping them change their lives for the better.  Chelsy Castro is the CEO and Founder of Castro Jacobs Psychotherapy and Consulting (CJPC). As a lawyer-turned-psychotherapist, she's an expert in lawyer well-being who teaches individuals and organizations how to build the skills they need to achieve their goals in a healthy, productive way. Chelsy's publications and trainings focus on science-based skills and strategies for improving performance and increasing well-being in high-profit, high-pressure professions. Nora and Chelsy are Co-authors of the book 50 Lessons for Happy Lawyers: Boost Wellness. Build Resilience. Yes, You Can!, which is the most recent book in Nora's 50 Lessons for Lawyers series. This book raises awareness on mental health and well-being challenges in the legal profession and equips individual lawyers with the skills needed to take action and live a happier life.  In this episode… A 2016 study from the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation shows that 28% of lawyers struggle with some level of depression, and 19% demonstrate symptoms of anxiety. On top of that, a Legal Trends Report from 2018 tells us that 75% of lawyers frequently work outside of business hours, and 39% said that working long hours has affected their personal lives. Since the emergence of the pandemic, these numbers are likely higher. So what can we do, whether on an individual or institutional level, to support lawyers' mental health and well-being? Nora Riva Bergman and Chelsy Castro believe lawyers deserve to lead happy, healthy, and resilient lives. That's why they co-authored the book 50 Lessons for Happy Lawyers, where they share tools and strategies to help lawyers support their health and well-being. Traditionally, the idea of lawyers' physical and mental health has been swept under the rug, but now, Nora and Chelsy believe that the legal profession is at an inflection point — and they're helping create change one small step at a time.  In this episode of The Lawyer's Edge Podcast, Elise Holtzman is joined by Nora Riva Bergman, Certified Practice Advisor at Atticus and Founder of Real Life Practice, and Chelsy Castro, Founder of Castro Jacobs Psychotherapy and Consulting (CJPC). Nora and Chelsy share why they wrote 50 Lessons for Happy Lawyers, their favorite lessons from the book, and strategies lawyers can use to invest in their well-being and create lasting change.

She was a co-presenter for the DocuSign “Capturing Customer Consent Online with a Single Click” webinar in May of 2020 and was also on a customer panel for the Thomson Reuters Annual Sales Meeting in February of 2019. Stacey is passionate about attorney wellness and is leading the new wellness initiative in the Dallas-Fort Worth Chapter of the Association of Corporate Counsel. In 2016, the American Bar Association conducted a study with the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation on lawyer impairment and found attorney experience issues with alcohol at a higher rate than other professions. The study also found attorneys experience significant mental health distress. This research highlights the need for more resources for lawyer assistance programs and a focus on attorney wellness. So why are we focused on this now? Over the last year during the pandemic, many attorneys experienced burnout and isolation, along with higher levels of stress and anxiety due to longer hours and no boundaries between work and home. Join Stacey Shaw this Wednesday for a LinkedIn LIVE conversation on how to work mindfulness into your daily routine at work and at home (or both if you work from home still). She will discuss the wellness initiative she started in the Dallas Fort Worth Chapter of the Association of Corporate Counsel and how she is combining CLE and wellness in the Legal Department. Stacey will go over practical tips you can use to start "working with wellness in mind."
