In this episode I discuss with you three questions that I would suggest asking ANY treatment center before committing to going there.  Often times treatment centers will make their website look a certain sort of way to attract for clients only to find out when you get there, it is nothing like it was presented.  DO NOT BE FOOLED! Not all treatment centers are created equal!  If you have any questions you can reach out at Tom@realrecoverytalk.com and Ben@realrecoverytalk.com

In this episode, Ben and I have a conversation around sponsorship. We discuss what we believe is the job of a sponsor, and we also discuss what we believe is not the job of a sponsor. There are people out there that tend to have these lines blurred, and it is ultimately at the expense of the one trying to get sober.
