About Darren Hobbs, Founder:
As a board-certified interventionist, Darren brings both passion and experience to each client’s family. His work in behavioral health began with his own personal journey to recovery in 2010. Inspired by his own family’s experience, Darren focused his efforts on helping other families in crisis. His understanding of both the addicted mind and the intricacies of family dynamics have helped him facilitate countless successful interventions around the country. As the owner and founder of The Firm Addiction Consulting, Darren is a leading provider of intervention and long-term family support services in the Southeast and has unmatched success in young men’s intervention.
As a ten-year industry veteran and Certified Intervention Professional, Darren’s passion for providing high-quality, individualized care to those struggling with addiction extends beyond the intervention experience and has prompted him to help found and operate multiple programs:
In 2017, NRhythm Recovery Residences opened to provide an accountability rich sober living option in Nashville. In 2018, in response to the need for a continuum of care designed to blend community engagement and evidenced-based clinical support for individuals leaving residential treatment, Nashville Recovery Center opened as a PHP/IOP program with a unique community space for hosting recovery meetings, sober events, concerts, etc. In 2020, Nashville Detox opened to extend treatment services to those needing medical detox and psychological assessment prior to receiving residential substance abuse treatment.

On this week's episode of Die Sober, Darren is joined by Jamie Vance, the CEO of Mind Body Wellness. Follow along as these two explore their "Burn the Boats" philosophy in their personal sobriety, as well as how they deliver the same intensity to clients.
