We are proud to present the first episode of our new podcast: The Intervention. In this podcast, hosts Peggy-Sue Figueira and Lya Young-Afat will discuss addiction.

They are doing this because the disease of addiction is still surrounded by many taboos and a great deal of misinformation. By sharing their own knowledge and experience, both professional and personal, they hope to help people with an addiction, their loved ones and care professionals combat the disease as a team.

In the first episode, we meet our 3 hosts. The trio work together as addiction specialists and interventionists. They did not simply stumble into this field. All three have experienced addiction at close quarters in their own lives: what it is, what it does to people and everything it destroys.

Awareness

We open up the discussion and share the raw stories behind addiction.

“We are not going to make it sound better than it is, because this is the reality.”

Inspiration and hope

We hope our stories will inspire others. Whether you have an addiction yourself, are a family member or a care professional, together there is a way forward.

Knowledge and experience

By combining experience with knowledge, we have developed our own methods that have proved effective. We want to help inform everyone who could benefit about the do’s and don’ts.

A platform for others

We not only share our own stories but also give others the opportunity to share their experiences.

Interaction

Do you have any questions? We are ready to answer them.
