Decades Of Addiction Leads To Decades Of Recovery; A More Holistic and Compassionate Treatment Approach, With Isaiah House Founder, Mark LaPalme

ABOUT THE EPISODE:
Have you ever followed someone and their work so closely that you feel like you’re friends, but you’ve actually never met? That would be the case with today’s guest. I’m finally sitting down with Mark LaPalme, founder of Isaiah House, who celebrates 23 years of sobriety and has been instrumental in helping thousands of people find recovery. 

In addition to all the incredible recovery programs offered at Isaiah House, it is also host to an FDA trial for the NET device. If you’ve listened to any other episodes about this treatment option you’re going to share my excitement. The NET device has the potential to not only save many more lives, but if approved, will transform the entire world of drug rehab with its ability to reduce the detox process both in duration and side effects. 

Listen to discover what pain led Mark to begin self-medicating at age 11, what kept him deeply addicted to both substances and the lifestyle that goes with it, and what support he found to leave that life behind. You’ll be blown away to hear about the comprehensive approach Isaiah House is using to empower people with tools they need to discover their purpose and transform their lives in recovery. 

In this episode, you’ll learn: 

• The seemingly harmless actions of Mark’s father that created deep emotional trauma 
• How key relationships enabled Mark’s drug use 
• About the mindset of a functioning user
• Why the team at Isaiah House is committed to extended support for 11 months
• What you can do when you feel powerless as a parent
• How the NET device is changing everything we know about detox and recovery
