Parents & Addicts in Need’s Founder Flindt Andersen and Jason LaChance sat down with Brock Bevell. Brock and former Arizona Cardinal Max Hall have the podcast, Agents of Recovery and then they opened Victory Recovery, a counseling center for recovering addicts.   
Bevell’s story is much different than most, yet much the same. Run over while on duty as a Mesa police officer, he went to see a doctor for his injuries and pain. Bevell says “The day I walked in on my first visit, he looks at me and goes, ‘hey, you’re a cop, you’ll never get hooked on these things,’” Bevell said.  
But the painkillers led to a 10-year addiction until one day. “I took a pill, drank it took it down and shut the mirror. The mirror shined into my room and when I looked into my room in my brain I’m like, ‘Brock, you live in a crack house, this is who you’ve become,’” he said.  
Bevell didn’t go to rehab. Instead, he spent a week in the bathroom detoxing on his own. He says “I didn’t have a support team. I had alienated everyone in my life. I’m like, ‘I’m in it, I have to stay here and I’m not walking out of the bathroom until I’m over this,’” he said.  
He’s turned everything around.  He’s been sober for many years now and has helped hundreds of others get clean and stay clean as well.    
We discuss the alarming trends in drug culture, the fentanyl crisis, youth addition, what happens after a substance user is Narcaned, as well as educating parents and the youth on the deadly consequences of experimentation.  As well as the meaning behind his Chase the Vase Challenge.
