The Party Wreckers: Addiction Intervention for Families
The Party Wreckers is the weekly podcast for families navigating a loved one's addiction.
Hosted by Matt Brown — a Certified Intervention Professional with 23 years of personal sobriety and over 20 years of hands-on experience — the show gives families the honest, practical guidance they actually need. Not platitudes. Not false hope. Real answers about addiction, intervention, alcoholism, drug use, recovery, and what it takes to protect your family while your loved one finds their way.
Every week, Matt covers the questions families are afraid to ask: How do I stage an intervention? When does supporting a loved one become enabling? How do I set boundaries that actually hold? What should I look for in a treatment center? How do I stop losing myself while loving an addict?
Whether your family is dealing with alcohol addiction, opioid use, prescription drug misuse, or any substance use disorder — this show was built for you. Party Wreckers covers the full journey: recognizing the problem, navigating intervention, choosing treatment, setting boundaries, surviving relapse, and rebuilding family life in recovery.
Join us every Monday night for The Family Squares — a free, live Zoom support call open to all listeners. Families come together to ask questions, share what's working, and get real-time guidance from Matt. No membership required. Just show up. Register at SoberHelpline.com.
New episodes every week. Free Monday night support calls every week. And a host who has lived recovery himself and spent two decades helping families do the hardest thing they'll ever do.
If addiction has entered your family — you're in the right place.
