When treatment ends, recovery is just beginning.

In this episode, Sam Davis sits down with Josh Dikis from Impact Recovery Center in Birmingham, Alabama. They unpack what “sober living done right” really looks like — from curfews, drug testing, and progress-based privileges, to rebuilding self-esteem through responsibility.

Josh lives this work daily, overseeing a program that bridges treatment and independent living without losing accountability.

You’ll learn:

• The difference between real sober living and “crash pad” houses

• How accountability rebuilds confidence and identity

• What questions every family should ask before trusting a sober home

• Why bad sober living can destroy progress faster than no sober living at all

Families — this is your roadmap to vetting programs and protecting your loved one’s recovery. 🎧

Families often think treatment is the finish line.

It’s not—it’s the starting line for real recovery.

In this solo studio session, Sam Davis, Founder of Intervention On Call, outlines a clear framework for what families should do after treatment ends. Drawing from years in the field, Sam explains how sober living, accountability, and structure shape long-term outcomes—and how a family’s approach can make or break that process.

Key takeaways:

• Why sober living is a critical next step, not an optional one

• When financial support helps—and when it undermines growth

• How self-esteem is built through earning, not rescuing

• Why treating your loved one like an adult is essential for real progress

This episode reinforces our core belief at Intervention On Call: The more educated the family is about addiction, the easier it is to navigate the solution.
