PAIN: Parents & Addicts in Need’s Founder Flindt Andersen and Jason LaChance sat down with musical artist, producer, lyricist and music video director, Joshua Datant Villarreal and recovery advocate working with artists in Austin, San Antonio, Nashville, and The Bay Area, and with addicts all over the world. Josh is dedicated to drug recovery through the use of conventional therapy and music. He utilizes various methods and tools he picked up along the way of his own recovery journey and has a fierce passion for those struggling with mental illness and addiction.

We talk with Josh about the depths of his addiction, which included fentanyl, that almost took his life and did take his brothers life. Josh opens up about the aftermath of losing his brother and struggling to maintain his sobriety and reconnect with his wife and children. Josh once had a thriving music career and in his recovery rededicated himself to his passion for music. He now uses music to not only maintain his sobriety, but make his living and be of service to others through his talents.
