From the throes of addiction to becoming a beacon of hope for others, our esteemed guest, Pej the Interventionist, is here to share his riveting journey. Imagine what it feels like to rise from the ashes of your own struggle, only to become an interventionist. Pej's transformative life story is a testament to resilience and the human spirit's ability to overcome adversity.

In a society where drugs like methamphetamine and Fentanyl are alarmingly on the rise, Pej unfolds the ramifications of these evolving trends in substance abuse treatment. We discuss prop 110 from an on-the-ground view of how the decriminalization of drugs in Oregon has sent shockwaves through the Portland drug market. Listen in as he demystifies the complexities of intervening with individuals using methamphetamine and those in psychosis, accentuating the crucial role that law enforcement plays in these challenging situations.

Shifting focus from societal trends to individual battles, we break down different intervention models — from the Johnson Model to Invitational interventions. Pej brings out the significance of understanding family history and dealing with generational trauma in executing successful interventions. Throughout our conversation, it becomes evident that interventions are not just about rescuing an individual from the clutches of addiction, but also about healing families caught in this destructive cycle. Join us for a poignant exploration into the world of interventions and their indispensable contribution to addiction treatment.
