An Inside Job #9: Methadone Madness

🎙️ The Recovery Hub Podcast – HMP Berwyn Edition An Inside Job - Episode 9: Methadone Madness In the final episode of the series, Marcus and Alex sit down with a man navigating one of the most difficult transitions of his recovery so far. Due to prison protocols, he’s being forced off various medications and being made to switch to using methadone, even though he was already stabilised on the other medications. The experience is painful — physically and emotionally — and not something he chose. But amid that struggle, a spark has been lit. Because sometimes, the very thing that hurts can become the catalyst for change. ‍⛓️‍💥 This series is about lived experience, resilience, and transformation — in the most unlikely of places. 🎧 Subscribe to the podcast free: https://media.rss.com/recoveryhub/feed.xml ▶️ Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/rYcGkcDWlzY Thanks to HMP Berwyn for opening the doors to these conversations, and to @TheNationalLottery for making this series possible.
