43:06Now PlayingA father reached out to Greta Van Susteren with a story millions of American families know too well.
In this episode of Greta Wire, Greta speaks with Len, whose son Michael has battled drug addiction, relapse, homelessness, health problems, gambling addiction and the long road through detox, rehab and sober living.
Len opens up about the toll addiction has taken on his family, his marriage, Michael’s siblings, and the impossible question parents often face: how do you help someone you love without enabling them?
Greta and Len discuss the gaps in America’s addiction and recovery system, including sober living costs, transportation barriers, hospital discharge problems, homelessness, court-ordered treatment, relapse, jail as forced sobriety, and the need for new solutions.
This is not just a policy debate. It is one father’s story — and a conversation for every family that has been touched by addiction.
