Stories of Substance Podcast | IBH Addiction Recovery

They say addiction thrives in isolation, but recovery happens in community. That’s why we created Stories of Substance, a podcast from IBH Addiction Recovery that amplifies the voices of people in recovery and the community champions who support them. Hosted in Season Two by IBH Addiction Recovery CEO Jess Rist, Stories of Substance features honest conversations about addiction, recovery, connection, and the experiences that remind us what is possible.
