Ben Culler Breaks Down 7Oh Kratom and Other Modern Day Gas Station Substances

Addiction treatment is supposed to help people build a life beyond addiction, but what happens when the system itself becomes part of the problem? This week on Primary Purpose with Pej, Pej sits down with psychologist, addiction specialist, and Recover Clarity founder Ben Culler for a powerful conversation challenging how we understand addiction, treatment, and long term recovery. After growing up surrounded by substance use and losing loved ones to the opioid epidemic, Ben dedicated his career to understanding why some people recover while others continue to struggle. Drawing from his background in cognitive behavioral psychology, forensic psychology, and substance use disorders, Ben shares his perspective on the science of addiction, the treatment industry's shortcomings, the role of Suboxone and medication, and why recovery can't be approached with a one size fits all model. Together, Pej and Ben explore what sustainable recovery really looks like, why behavioral change and individualized care matter, and what it takes to move beyond simply surviving addiction toward building a meaningful life. This is a conversation about addiction, psychology, treatment, accountability, wellness, and creating lasting change. #AddictionRecovery #Recovery #MentalHealth #Sobriety #Healing #Addiction #PersonalGrowth #Wellness #Hope #RecoveryJourney Learn more about your ad choices.
