MusiCares® Talks with Bob Forrest – Why Drug and Alcohol Addiction Intervention Fail

It’s very hard to get through to artists when they are engrossed in addiction.  Addictions Interventions don’t always work. Even with family and loved ones begging someone to go to rehab, people will walk away from an addiction intervention because they are not ready. According to Bob Forrest (Thelonious Monster band member and chemical dependency counselor), that often correlates to the size of a person’s ego. Many people still don’t see drug addiction as a disease, yet with addiction people are dying right in front of our eyes.

MusiCares® is a very supportive organization for musician and others in the music industry.  MusiCares® acknowledges that a vital part of addiction recovery is support and aftercare services. The implementation of recovery support groups help ensure that MAP Fund clients are receiving the tools that they need in order to maintain a clean and sober lifestyle. https://www.musicares.org
