Lacey talks rehabs with Arden O'Connor, an expert in addiction treatment and the founder and CEO of O'Connor Professional Group, a behavior health consulting company. They get into practical questions of how to narrow down your search for a rehab, sketchy red flags to look out for, interventions and sober living homes. Arden also talks about how she was inspired to create her company after her brother Chris' experience in multiple rehabs. Chris is well known from his podcast Dopey which he co-hosted with his rehab buddy Dave for two years before he tragically overdosed and died in July 2018.
