Miracle Mansion Podcast by Broadway Lodge
Raw, first-hand experiences of addiction and recovery from Broadway Lodge rehab. In each episode, Head of Treatment & Counselling, Markkus, interviews a former client who has been through addiction and treatment at Broadway Lodge. Each have a very different story to tell and offer an insight into what a residential stay is like and how it can change your life. We hope this podcast series can help to break the stigma of addiction, help the public to gain more understanding about addiction and give those who are living in active addiction some hope that recovery really is achievable with the right support.
