YOUR CRISIS COACH

Most addiction treatment fails — at least that’s what the numbers say. But what if we’re measuring the wrong thing? In this episode of Your Crisis Coach, Scott Silverman and the Confidential Recovery clinical team break down: • Why the 95% relapse statistic is misunderstood • Why 30 days isn’t enough • What actually helps people stay sober • Why relapse isn’t always failure • The role of veterans, professionals, and family in recovery • How connection changes outcomes This is not therapy. This is not medical advice. This is clarity. If you or someone you love is navigating addiction, relapse, or recovery burnout — this conversation matters. 📍 Confidential Recovery – San Diego 🌐 https://www.confidentialrecovery.com/ 📞(619) 752-7590 If you’re in crisis, contact 988 (U.S.) or your local emergency services.

In this episode of Your Crisis Coach, Scott H. Silverman and Fred Carroll sit down with former DEA Senior Special Agent Michael Brown for a hard, unfiltered conversation about cartels, fentanyl, cocaine trafficking, Venezuela’s role as a narco-state, and why current drug policy is failing. Michael Brown brings over 30 years of DEA experience, including decades working overseas in drug-producing countries, to explain how cartels actually operate, how drugs move into the United States, and why domestic gangs — not cartels — are often responsible for cutting and distributing fentanyl-laced drugs. The discussion breaks down go-fast boats, precursor chemicals from China, maritime interdiction, border realities, harm reduction versus abstinence-based policy, and what meaningful disruption of cartel supply chains would really require. This is not a political debate. It’s a factual, analytical look at what’s happening now — and what the consequences may be next. 📌 Topics covered: • Cartel structure and profit models • Venezuela’s role in global cocaine trafficking • Fentanyl production and precursor chemicals • Go-fast boats, submarines, and trafficking routes • Border inspection limits and smuggling realities • Domestic gangs and drug adulteration • Harm reduction vs abstinence policy • Why seizures alone won’t solve the crisis 🎙️ Guest: Michael Brown Former Senior Special Agent, U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration Host of The Opioid Matrix podcast If you or someone you love is affected by addiction, resources are available.

FREDD CARROLL is an Award-winning Best-Selling Author and Podcast Host. About SCOTT: I empower individuals and families to move forward past the crisis and onto the road of recovery. As founder of Second Chance, I worked to break the cycle of substance abuse, unemployment, poverty, and homelessness for 25,000 at-risk teens and adults going through the incarceration system. Today, I lead the team at Confidential Recovery, an intensive outpatient substance abuse recovery program. But that’s not why you want to work with me. You want to work with me because I have been there. I’ve been through the fire and come out on the other side. Thirty years ago I was on the edge. Struggling from addiction, considering suicide, and feeling like things were unraveling. I was at rock bottom. The day after trying to kill myself, I flew home and immediately entered treatment. I lived the embarrassment, fear, and helplessness surrounding addiction. And I have come out the other side whole. Today I get to live life on life’s terms and I get to give back. I am now 35 years sober, working to empower others on their journey. Regardless if they are a high-powered lawyer turning to opioids, an at-risk teen struggling with suicide, an abusive spouse, or a family dynamic that needs to be addressed, I get results. Additionally, I am the CEO of Confidential Recovery an outpatient addiction program in San Diego, California. Please visit the Confidential Recovery website at https://www.confidentialrecovery.com/.
