When love isn’t enough to save someone from addiction, what do you do? "
 Have you ever felt like you were fighting a losing battle against a "monster" in your own home? In this episode of The Cappy Hour Podcast, we go beyond the stigma to explore the reality of the opioid crisis, addiction recovery, and the limitations of traditional treatment.

 Katie Rizzo joins us to share the story of her son, Nicholas, a bright, 25-year-old athlete who lost his life to an accidental overdose. We tear down the myths surrounding addiction as a personal choice and look at the neuroscience of addiction. We discuss why the 28-day rehab model often fails, and how we can finally start healing. If you are struggling with a loved one’s addiction or feeling lost in the wake of grief, this conversation offers the resources and perspective you need to find the light again.

 Here’s what we get into: * Why the 28-day rehab cycle keeps failing people. * The neuroscience behind why addiction is so hard to break. * Processing the loss of a loved one to overdose. * How to build a community when you feel completely alone. * What recovery tools actually help when the system isn't there for you. If you or a loved one are struggling, please know you are not alone. There is no shame in a physiological disease. Watch this video to find hope, community, and the tools to start the journey toward permanent remission.
