Trapped to Triumphant: Justin McMillen on Breaking Addiction & Finding Purpose in Recovery

Feeling trapped is one of the most painful parts of addiction—but Justin McMillen proves that breaking free is possible. In this episode, he walks through the key turning points that helped him shift from feeling powerless to taking back control. After years of battling his own addiction, Justin McMillen set out to help others recover from addiction. In 2008, he established Tree House Sober Living, an organization dedicated to sheltering those new in recovery without anywhere else to go. After spending years watching people recover only to relapse in an endless cycle, Justin began studying substance use disorder. The sober living residence became a laboratory for his research that would ultimately lead to today's most innovative addiction treatment solution. For Justin, this work is deeply personal and spiritual. He believes that his purpose is to put an end to as much unnecessary suffering in the world as possible during his lifetime. Justin is relentlessly driven to advance the mission of Tree House, to save as many lives as possible by transforming how addiction is thought about, talked about, understood, and treated around the world. His focus is on positioning the organization to establish new national benchmarks for what is possible in substance use disorder treatment.
