Today's guest is Joe Schrank, a social worker, interventionist, community advocate, and co-founder of “The Fix.” Throughout this episode, Joe discusses the shift in perspective we can have regarding those suffering from addiction. He shares his struggle with addiction, how he went through recovery, and how he helps his clients by meeting them where they are with their addictions. Joe emphasizes that it is necessary to look at all types of recovery instead of thinking that the traditional recovery techniques are the only options. Tune in today to learn more about how you can support someone in your life who is facing addiction, or if you need help with  substance use.     IN THIS EPISODE:     [1:40] September is Recovery Month. Joe wants to bring awareness to Recovery Month.   [3:32] How does Joe define recovery?  [6:38] What are other roads to recovery aside from abstinence?  [10:06] Does AA position itself toward a particular group of people?   [15:50] What would it look like if we moved away from criminalization to focus on mental health instead?   [19:00] Why do people of wealth and affluence who live in a bubble not get help?   [23:02] What kind of screening could doctors do to help those with mental illness?   [24:56] What do we value, and why do we not value people with mental health issues (by the way, we all do)?     KEY TAKEAWAYS:     We need to normalize mental health care: talk about it, support people, and offer early intervention to those who need it.   Society would benefit  from looking at people who struggle with addiction outside of “they have an addiction” and looking more closely at what they struggle with. People do get better. Recovery is all around us, even if it doesn't look like the “traditional” type of recovery.   Every person will struggle with mental health challenges in their life. Whether it's life changes, divorce, family growth, retirement, or something else, there will be a time when each of us struggles with a mental issue.     BIO:  Social worker, interventionist, community advocate, cofounder of TheFix.com,  Joe Schrank has spent his life in and around active alcoholism. Joe underperformed on the USC campus, preferring to blame coaches and professors than to enter mental health care. After a girl dumped him for his “drinking problem,” Joe joined treatment for depression and alcoholism. After stabilizing, he returned to school and studied clinical social work at Iona College and then the University of Illinois.     Following a tenure at Promises in Malibu, CA, Joe established the first sober living facility in New York City –, Loft 107. Frustrated with the lack of media attention  given  the recovery community, Joe founded TheFix.com with Maer Roshan. A big believer in “meeting the client where the client is,” Joe founded High Sobriety, the first cannabis-inclusive treatment center, using medicinal cannabis as an option for some people. Joe continues to advocate for public health policy over-incarceration, alcohol tax justice, and ending the violent and racist drug war.  

In this special bonus episode, Veronica joins forces with long-time colleague Joe Schrank. They discuss how we need to change the alcohol culture by producing a TV show called 'Are you sober curious.' To do this, they need your help. We are asking our sober community to help crowdfund the pilot episode. Find out more info here: https://seedandspark.com/fund/are-you-sober-curious

As a sober companion, Joe Schrank has worked with countless clients – infamous and wealthy – but he became closest to comedian Greg Giraldo. For years Joe tried to help Greg with his drug and alcohol issues, but the relationship became more personal than professional over time. Then Greg died and Joe has never been the same. And he's learned what you can't do for someone else. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's the cannabis episode! This week we talk with client Joe Schrank of The Heavenly Center, a new rehab in LA that's using cannabis (yes, cannabis) to medically treat patients with opioid addictions. Controversial, for sure, but proving to work. Jeremy Berke from BI also stops by to share with us how he likes to work with publicists and some best practices for pitching.

The Heavenly Center was started by Scott Storch and Joe Schrank to use cannabis to combat drug addiction. There are so many rehab facilities out there, and the work The Heavenly Center is doing is truly remarkable! There recidivism rates are the lowest in the area, and they do it all through weed baby!!  We get high, and Nick and Joe school us on the benefits of rehab through cannabis. It's a great listen...

Amy Dresner- author of My Fair Junkie: A Memoir of Getting Dirty and Staying Clean. Amy Dresner is a journalist, author, and former comedian as well as a recovering addict. She was a regular columnist for the addiction/recovery magazine theFix.com since 2012  and has freelanced for Addiction.com, Psychology Today, Vice and many other publications.  She’s now a regular contributor to WorkitHealth.com. Dresner has appeared on the television show The Doctors and on numerous radio shows and podcasts, including Dr. Drew, Dopey and Rich Roll. She does regular speaking engagements around the U.S.  She is the co-host to Joe Schrank of the new Rehab Confidential Podcast. Amy wrote her book, My Fair Junkie: A Memoir of Getting Dirty and Staying Clean, in 2017. In her memoir, Amy describes growing up in Beverly Hills and having it all: a top-notch private school education, the most expensive summer camps and even a weekly clothing allowance. At the age of 24 she began experimenting with meth in San Francisco and unleashed a fiending addiction monster. Soon, if you could snort it, smoke it, or have sex with, she did. Smart and charming, with daddy’s money to fall back on, she sort of managed to keep it all together. But on Christmas Eve of 2011, all of that changed when, high on Oxycontin, she stupidly “brandished” a bread knife on her husband and was promptly arrested for “felony domestic violence with a deadly weapon.” Within months, she found herself in the psych ward–and then penniless, divorced and looking out on a court-ordered 240 hours of community service. For the next two years, assigned to a Hollywood Boulevard “chain gang,” she would sweep up syringes (and worse) on Hollywood Boulevard as she bounced from rehabs to halfway houses, all while struggling with sobriety, sex addiction, and starting over in her 40s. Her book is currently in development for a TV series.

Interventionist, activist, social worker, and podcaster (he co-hosts Rehab Confidential with previous guest Amy Dresner) Joe Schrank shows up to discuss his unique point of view when it comes to fighting addiction. He talks about why he became a social worker and his pro harm reduction stance (because “dead people don’t find recovery,”), codependency, embracing diversity, the importance of community, why policy must change and the reason legalizing drugs is a good thing. The two men also talk about AA and why it’s like Soul Cycle.

Joe Schrank got the call six years ago that his friend Greg Giraldo had been found unconscious after an overdose in a New Jersey hotel room. Schrank had tried in vain to save him. Using pot instead of cocaine and Valium was something Schrank had suggested to his friend weeks before his death. Although it is an unpopular idea in the rehab world, where Schrank had made his career, he nonetheless had a hunch marijuana could have helped his friend. After Giraldo’s death, Schrank began working with Bienenfeld on treatment plans that incorporated marijuana as a crucial detox step. He also connected with Amanda Reiman, former head of marijuana law and policy at the Drug Policy Alliance, whose research at University of California, Berkeley, for more than a decade has focused on the use of cannabis as a viable substitute for prescription drugs. Schrank took another step and opened High Sobriety – a first-of-its-kind rehab center that uses cannabis as a central part of its treatment plan. Seen as a highly contentious move in the rehab world, High Sobriety has been met with skepticism and criticism for its use of marijuana in a field where success is traditionally measured by total abstinence.

Addiction Specialist Joe Schrank on cannabis-assisted sobriety; Why Drug Testing for Unemployment and Welfare Benefits is Wrong.

Interventionist, sober companion, Fix co-founder and former proprietor of Brooklyn's Loft 107 Sober Living, Joe Schrank is a somewhat controversial figure in recovery circles. While he's never been afraid to speak his mind, Schrank has just launched his most chatter-worthy business of all: High Sobriety, an LA-based "cannabis included" treatment center that offers, in its own words, "harm reduction through an innovative medication assisted program." The first of its kind in the United States, High Sobriety is aimed at those people who Schrank feels would be dead if they had to abstain from all chemicals—that is, those who try sobriety and end up with a needle in their arm. In this episode, Schrank discusses his own sobriety, how the US is conservative in its approach to recovery and why the issue of harm reduction isn't as simple as it first seems, among many other topics.

Joe Schrank calls in and gives us an exclusive on his new rehab where patients are allowed to smoke weed, we talk about a recent Artie Lange interaction that went poorly, and Chris shares the details about the last time he got high.
