Addiction doesn't just affect the person struggling — it affects every single person who loves them. In this episode, Alison sits down with Marisa Barber, author of The Other Side of Addiction and Senior Manager of Patient Support Services for a telehealth addiction treatment program, to talk about the grief, shame, and silence that families carry when someone they love is struggling with substance use.
Marisa draws from her professional experience in addiction recovery and her own devastating personal loss — the overdose death of her partner — to explore what healing actually looks like for families. They discuss boundaries, recovery, Al-Anon, medication-assisted treatment, stigma, and the radical power of telling the truth about our stories.
Whether you've walked this road yourself or love someone who has, this conversation will remind you that you are not alone.
