EP 166 - The Recovery Roadmap: From Detox to Long-Term Sobriety

Welcome to the new and improved We Do Recover! Three recovery experts—Dr. Terry Sellers (addiction medicine physician), Jared Miller (interventionist and clinical specialist), and Jordan Burningham (treatment center owner)—break down the critical stages of addiction recovery. They explain why detox alone isn't enough, why residential treatment is just the beginning, and the danger of stopping treatment too soon. The conversation flows through each level of care—from detox to residential treatment, day treatment, intensive outpatient, and finally to general outpatient/alumni programs. They share both clinical insights and personal experiences about what makes each stage essential for long-term recovery success. Statistics show less than 10% of people maintain sobriety after only completing detox and residential treatment, underscoring why the full continuum of care matters so much. Find our sponsors here!
