A Masterclass on Understanding Drug Addiction & How to Help an Addict Who's Struggling

Today’s episode is not only timely but truly one of the most impactful and informative conversations you might hear. This conversation is about drug addiction. A report recently released stated there were over 93,000 drug overdose deaths in 2020 which is nearly a 30% increase from the year before.    My fear is that these numbers will continue to climb. This episode is going to be a masterclass on drug addiction and recovery. It is going to feature different parts from three previously released conversations surrounding these topics. We will talk statistics, causes and solutions. You will discover contributing factors and also hear a few transformation stories.   The first part will feature renowned interventionist and hostage negotiator Heather Hayes as she provides some staggering statistics on what we are facing, what’s causing the epidemic and how to know if someone is having addiction issues. Then you will hear from health and wellness influencer Arielle Lorre and Internet personality Mike Majlak as they both share their riveting stories of overcoming addiction. The episode will then become more solution-oriented as you hear from Heather again on practical steps to take if someone is suffering with addiction as well as advice from Arielle and Mike.    My hope is that after listening to this conversation you will feel educated, hopeful, and inspired to take action or be prepared to take action if you or a loved one are ever suffering from addiction.    Links to full episodes featured in this conversation:   Arielle Lorre:   https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/arielle-lorre-deep-dive-on-addiction-recovery-wellness/id1496406333?i=1000515322639   Heather Hayes:   https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/heather-hayes-nation-thats-being-held-hostage-by-addiction/id1496406333?i=1000515777062   Mike Majlak:   https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/from-drug-addict-to-internet-celebrity-redemption-story/id1496406333?i=1000518614684   Connect with Arielle Lorre:    Website : https://theblondefiles.com/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ariellelorre   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ariellelorre/   Twitter: https://twitter.com/ariellelorre   Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-blonde-files-podcast/id1458992375   Connect with Heather:    Website : https://www.heatherhayes.com/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heatherrhayes/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HeatherRHayesInc   Connect with Mike Majlak:   Instagram: www.instagram.com/heybigmike   Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMk0u-pViW-Ff4F9SAGcI4g   Twitter: www.twitter.com/mikemajlak   Buy Mike Majlak's book "The 5th Vital": https://www.amazon.com/Fifth-Vital-Mike-Majlak/dp/B087L8DWZQ   Listen/Watch Impaulsive Podcast: Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGeBogGDZ9W3dsGx-mWQGJA   Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/impaulsive-with-logan-paul/id1442164847?at=1l3vwYf   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/36PzTdM4rvRPaJYdBW1ZNa   Connect with Doug:   Instagram: www.instagram.com   Twitter: www.twitter.com/dougbopst   Facebook: www.facebook.com/dougbopst   More on Earth Echo Foods/Cacao Bliss:   www.earthechofoods.com/dougbopst   Use Promo code "Doug" at checkout to receive 15% off your order Learn more about your ad choices.
