Sabino Recovery

Sabino Recovery is uniquely positioned to care for those suffering from mental health issues and addiction because the majority of the staff have gone through similar experiences. They know firsthand how difficult and worthwhile recovery is.

On this episode of A Wise Mind, our host, Sam Zimmer, and Sabino’s VP of Marketing, Adam McLean, tell their stories of addiction and recovery. While some of their details are different, they have emotional commonalities that are familiar to many addicts. They both managed to get help and heal from their trauma and are dedicating their lives to helping others do the same.

Sam and Adam talk about The Hero’s Journey by Joseph Campbell and how the recovery process follows the archetypal journey of the hero. The Hero’s Journey illuminates the commonalities between stories throughout human history. Famous stories in pop culture such as The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars follow the hero’s journey. It’s a framework that we are all familiar with and that resonates with any journey of self-actualization.

Addiction is lonely and it’s easy to believe that you are the only person who understands your experience. Not only are you not alone but many stories that humans have told each other for thousands of years are about the difficult journey from struggle and pain to healing and hope.
