On today’s episode, we have Walter Wolf, the author of The Right Rehab: A Guide to Addiction and Mental Illness Recovery When Crisis Hits Your Family. This step-by-step guide outlines how to identify and access treatment options for individuals and families, regardless of their resources. Writers, I want to share this book with you because being creative isn’t easy. If you need help, options are available. This book is also an excellent resource if you're writing about addiction.
We need to talk about Walter Wolff. Walter Wolff is a pen name, and the man behind it promised a loved one privacy. Before, as you will soon learn, a phone call changed his life; Walter was a producer in Hollywood for over 30 years. Now, he is an interventionist and treatment placement specialist.
We also break down the movie 28 Days, starring Sandra Bullock, through the lens of Walter Wolf.
Warning: the subject matter we discuss can be triggering.
