Breaking the Cycle with Jake LeClair
Jake LeClair is a Recovery Navigator and founder of the Emerge Center for Addiction Recovery.
Only those who have emerged from the darkness themselves can walk back in to guide others out and into the light.
That’s what Jake is here to do. The Emerge Center for Addiction Recovery is the result of his own decades-long battle with substance abuse and eventual journey from dope to hope. Jake spent years searching for solutions in every avenue he could think of. He went to treatment, talked with psychiatrists, tried couples counseling, and attended 12-step programs. No matter what direction he went, though, every time he felt failed by the very people who were supposed to help him.
Jake has grown to recognize in his own relationships with his family that each person plays a role in recovery. Following the same patterns places you into the same predicaments each time your child relapses. Interrupting that cycle is the only way your family can uncover the course to a new outcome. Jake u…
