The Influence Factor: How Parents Can Use Leverage and Raise the Bottom for Treatment-Resistant Kids Struggling with Substance Misuse, with Jared Murray

ABOUT THE EPISODE: The chaos of Jared Murray"s substance use got him expelled from the University of Alabama and banned from campus. How then, did he go on to eventually running the university"s collegiate recovery program? You’ll have to listen to find out. Jared now spends every day talking with young adults and their parents about addiction, mental health and sober life at Momentum Recovery in North Carolina. Many of those parents are in a position that you might be familiar with - desperately trying to convince their young adult child to pursue treatment and recovery. In this episode, Jared brings his personal and professional experiences to bear on considerations around when it’s time to seek help, whether youth have to be open to treatment to realize benefits, whether relapse is inevitable, and why interventions don"t have to look like anything you"ve seen on TV.
