Brock Bevell takes us inside his journey—from working as an undercover cop to battling opioid addiction, and ultimately, to becoming a recovery advocate for the Mesa, AZ community.
After a career-ending injury and medical retirement, Brock didn’t just lose his job—he lost his identity. He opens up about the mental health spiral that followed, his doctor’s flawed belief that cops are somehow immune to addiction, and the devastating moment he realized he had become the very person he judged while on the job..
This isn’t a story about rock bottom—it’s a story about what happens next.
Today, Brock leads street-level outreach through The Fentanyl Project, connecting with people deep in addiction, whether they’re ready for change or not. He speaks candidly about the emotional pain that drives substance use, the broken systems that keep people stuck, the evolving fentanyl crisis, and the hope that recovery is always possible—even if the timing isn’t perfect.
