134. Young Adults & Addiction: What Families Are Missing

This episode of The Unbroken with Sam Davis dives deep into one of the most misunderstood populations in addiction recovery: young adults who are struggling to launch into adulthood. Sam Davis sits down with intervention expert Brian Schultz from Intervention On Call to unpack why traditional treatment models often fail this group — and what actually works. They discuss: The “failure to launch” phenomenon Why young adults isolate differently today Addiction, trauma, ADHD, and delayed development Why structure and long-term accountability matter The role families unknowingly play in keeping the cycle going Why sobriety alone is not enough How recovery becomes the foundation for building an actual life This is a raw and practical conversation for parents, families, and young adults who feel stuck, exhausted, and unsure what to do next.
