The Dark Ages of Addiction Treatment — And the Coming Renaissance of Recovery (Ep. 23) 🔥

America’s addiction crisis isn’t just a public health failure — it’s a moral one. More than 100,000 people die from overdoses every year, while outdated treatment models, punitive drug policies, and systemic blind spots continue to fail those who need help most.

In this urgent and transformative episode, Matt Finch exposes the deep structural flaws of the U.S. addiction treatment system — from the War on Drugs and the $50 billion rehab industry to medical neglect, pharmacy discrimination, burnout among counselors, and the absence of evidence-based care.

Then, we shift from sacred anger to sacred possibility.

Matt reveals the Strategic Recovery Paradigm, a holistic, science-backed, multi-dimensional model of healing that integrates biochemical repair, trauma therapy, recovery capital, environmental design, spirituality, harm reduction, and modern nutrition. You’ll also learn the 11 shifts that could save lives immediately — if America had the courage to implement them.

This episode is a call to conscience, a call to compassion, and a call to action.
