Yeshaia Blakeney: Addiction Treatment in the Age of Covid and Beyond

June 10, 2021 • Jeff Simone • Season 1 • Episode 1

Welcome to Episode 1 of Surviving Opioids - Beyond an Epidemic Podcast. Here we talk about the opioid crisis as it looks at the ground level. We talk with folks who research opioid addiction, work in the therapeutic setting, have personal experience with loved ones, or who are themselves thriving on the other side of the chaos.

On today's first episode I talk with Yeshaia Blakeney.

Yeshaia is co-founder and co-CEO of Recover Integrity. He's an addiction expert with 17 years experience working in substance abuse and mental health. Sober since age 21, Yeshaia has a deep understanding of the youth addiction and recovery process, and works well with people for whom 12-step programs have been ineffective or are looking for an unorthodox approach. Aware that lasting recovery has a spiritual dimension, Yeshaia helps addicted people build a customized path toward healing that best fits their personal senses of identity.
