Dr. Lucas Trautman, Medical Director at our Mississippi-based Oxford Treatment Center, recently joined Jon Scott on FOX Report to discuss addiction, co-occurring disorders, and why relapse does not mean treatment has failed.

“Addiction is a chronic brain disease,” Dr. Trautman explained. “And just because it’s messy — and just because people relapse — we don’t withhold care. We keep going and fighting for these patients.”

With nearly 50 million Americans living with addiction to drugs or alcohol—and 3 out of 4 not receiving treatment—this conversation matters.

At Oxford, Dr. Trautman sees firsthand that people come in broken, overwhelmed, and exhausted but go on to build vibrant, meaningful lives in recovery. Compassion, persistence, and treatment do save lives, and hope is real, even when the road is long.

Last week, President Trump signed an executive order accelerating the rescheduling of ma*****na from Schedule I to Schedule III.

This shift eases certain federal restrictions and reflects growing acknowledgment of potential medical use — while still raising important questions about public health, regulation, and access.

Our Regional Director of Outreach, Jacqueline Thompson, joined Univision Los Angeles to share expert perspective on what this change could mean and why nuance matters in the conversation.

Happy holidays don’t stop when you’re in treatment! ❤️💚

From Worcester, MA to Orange County, CA, our centers across the country are pulling out the stops to bring joy to our patients. From baking cookies and decorating spaces to wrapping gifts and sharing laughs, these moments remind us that recovery can still include community, joy, and togetherness. 🎁

We know it can be hard to be away from your loved ones — especially during the holidays — but the greatest gift you can give them this season is a healthier, happier you. Reach out. There’s no better time than now. ☎️ 866-244-1070

For Frank, recovery wasn’t about pretending the past didn’t happen. It was about finally looking at it without shame taking over. “I’m not proud of who I was back then, but I learned from it.”

He learned how to take responsibility without drowning in guilt, how to learn from his choices instead of repeating them. Now, Frank says that staying stuck would have been the real loss. ❤️

Recovery doesn’t erase the past, but it helps you move forward with clarity and purpose.

Addiction often works the way other long-term health conditions do. People can make real progress and still face setbacks.

Recovery isn’t a straight climb. It’s learning, adjusting, and trying again.❤️

For families, that can feel confusing or discouraging. But for many people, relapse is part of how healing takes shape.🩹

In this clip from our latest Addiction Talk, former Raiders QB Todd Marinovich opens up about falling down, getting back up, and why he refuses to let hopelessness win — even after seven treatment attempts!

It’s Mental Health Monday, and we’re diving into Motivational Interviewing (MI)! 🧠

MI might sound like a self-help phrase, but it’s actually a proven therapeutic approach used by clinicians to help people figure out what truly motivates change.
In treatment, MI helps people uncover their own “why” —
✅ Why let go of substances.
✅ Why start healing.
✅ Why choose a future they feel good about.

Swipe through to learn more, and if you’re curious about MI or any of our treatment options, reach out anytime. ☎️ 866-244-1070

Former Raiders QB Todd Marinovich opens up in this week’s Addiction Talk clip, sharing how the pressure to perform and live up to expectations pushed him into a role that never felt like his own.

“I didn’t see myself as a leader… but they threw me in, and suddenly I had to pretend I was someone I wasn’t.”

A Moment That Changed Everything…
When Marissa arrived at treatment, she expected the clinical side of recovery — structure, support, and a lot of hard work.
What she didn’t picture was how human it would all feel. ❤️

At our Las Vegas center, Desert Hope, she found small moments that surprised her… conversations that made her laugh, people who remembered her name, and a routine that grounded her in ways she didn’t know she needed.

“I forgot what it felt like to feel connected,” she shared. “I started looking forward to the days — even the tough ones.”

Recovery wasn’t just about removing something from her life. It was about rebuilding a sense of self, piece by piece, with people who truly understood.
