The Party Wreckers
Matt is a professional interventionist with more than twenty years of frontline experience working with addiction, recovery, and the families caught in between. Having guided hundreds of families through the chaos, fear, and uncertainty that surround substance use disorder, he understands both the clinical realities of addiction and the emotional toll it takes on the people who love someone struggling.
On The Party Wreckers Podcast, Matt pulls back the curtain on addiction and intervention—cutting through stigma, misinformation, and false hope. He translates complex subjects like enabling, boundaries, relapse, treatment selection, and recovery planning into clear, practical conversations families can actually use. Each episode blends real-world intervention experience, hard-earned insight, and honest storytelling to help listeners move from paralysis to purposeful action.
Matt approaches addiction as a medical disease that demands accountability, structure, and compassion—and recognizes that lasting recovery often includes a spiritual component defined by meaning, connection, and responsibility rather than rigid ideology. His work helps families learn the difference between helping and enabling, how to set boundaries they can hold, and how to build sustainable, family-centered recovery plans that support long-term change.
The Party Wreckers Podcast exists for families who are done pretending, done waiting, and ready to understand what actually works.
