Is there hope for a person dealing with addiction? Yes, there’s hope for a person struggling and dealing with substance, drugs or alcohol abuse: And it starts with themselves and their families.

Chris welcomes Heidi Le to answer the important question: How can you start healing from addiction? Heidi discusses how music helped her escape the problems starting at her home and how addiction affected not only her father, but also the whole family. She also shares different stories that she experienced as a family member of someone dealing with addiction and their journey of healing and recovery.

You'll hear how to affect positive change in their life and help your loved one begin a successful recovery. Host Christopher Doyle shares his insights, talks with experts and interviews people who have gone through recovery.
