Homeward Bound: Life After Treatment
Honest and insightful conversations about returning home after addiction recovery treatment.
Coming home after an Extended or Intensive period of therapy can feel disorienting—like you’ve been transformed, but the world hasn’t. As one person put it, “I went through treatment and came out with a shiny, clean new ME... and when I got home, absolutely NOTHING had changed!” That mismatch can feel overwhelming, especially when your family and the world around you no longer speak the same language.
This series offers short, relatable audio chats from Jeff Ramsey who’s been there himself. With compassion and a touch of humor, Jeff shares his insights to help you navigate the early challenges of returning home in recovery.
Listen as often as you need, and please pass it along to others who could use the support.
