Addiction Unplugged

Addiction Unplugged goes to Minnesota to explore the incredible "second chance" story of Mike Lindell, the creator and founder of My Pillow and chronicles how he emerged from decades of drug addiction to create fame and fortune and, more importantly, a platform to give people in recovery their "second chances" with meaningful employment and a caring, family-like work environment.

Hosted by Bella Monte Recovery Center in Palm Springs, Addiction Unplugged goes inside police stations and firehouses to visit first responders and discuss experiences and emotional stress that comes with a job that requires putting these heroes in harm's way to keep the public safe. Sometimes heroes needs heroes to help them deal with the danger of addiction.

In the episode hosted by Jayson Williams' Rebound Program at Futures Recovery Healthcare, Addiction Unplugged features the controversial former NBA All-Star Jayson Williams. After getting sober with the help of friends, Jayson created an outside of the box recovery method based on high-octane adventure therapy so he and his new teammates can bring the gift of sobriety to others.

Addiction Unplugged examines addiction within inner cities with visits to the South Side of Chicago and the Overtown section of Miami. We found many concerned and upstanding people that are trying to bring light to traditionally forgotten citizens. We also visit the youth center founded by Hall of Fame NBA superstar Alonzo Mourning that he believes is the model to "break the unfortunate cycle".
