| 11 Mar 2025 | Ep. 5 - From Crisis to Catalyst: How a Teen's Drug-Induced Psychosis Became a Path to Healing | 00:28:20 | |
In this episode, Jason Coombs of Brick House Recovery shares how a teen's frightening drug-induced psychosis transformed into an opportunity for healing and growth. After using psilocybin mushrooms and high-potency cannabis concentrates, the teen experienced severe hallucinations, mood swings, and panic attacks lasting five days. Through building trust, identifying underlying issues, and reframing anxiety as a potential strength, Jason demonstrates how even the most challenging situations can become catalysts for positive change. The Unexpected Emergency Call When Jason Coombs received an urgent text from a concerned mother about her teenage son experiencing a drug-induced psychotic episode, he knew immediate action was necessary. The teen had been suffering from audible and visual hallucinations, mood swings, and panic attacks for five days straight—a situation requiring careful, informed intervention. What began as a crisis evolved into a powerful lesson about modern substance risks, trust-building techniques, and transforming traumatic experiences into opportunities for growth. Episode Highlights
The Reality of Modern Cannabis Concentrates During conversations with the teen (referred to as "Troy" in the podcast), Jason discovered the crisis stemmed from a combination of psilocybin mushrooms and highly concentrated cannabis products. This reflects a dangerous trend facing today's youth. Modern cannabis concentrates present significantly heightened risks compared to traditional cannabis:
The physical effects can include rapid heart rate, increased blood pressure, impaired coordination, respiratory issues, nausea, and headaches. More concerning are the psychological effects: acute anxiety, panic attacks, paranoia, hallucinations, memory impairment, and potential triggers for psychosis in vulnerable individuals. Creating Trust Through Non-Judgmental Communication Jason's approach to helping Troy demonstrates the critical difference between gaining trust and building rapport with teens in crisis: "Trust is a firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, and strength in someone. Rapport is a close and harmonious relationship in which you understand each other's feelings and ideas." Jason employed several key techniques that parents and professionals can learn from:

Ep. #6 - Fear is a Lack of Mental Discipline: The Fear-Faith Connection in Supporting Loved Ones with AddictionIn this "Get Unhooked Podcast" episode, Jason Coombs (Brick House Recovery) discusses Chapter 11 of "UNHOOKED" – the Hope chapter. He explores establishing boundaries, effective communication, and transforming struggles into service opportunities. Key Moments
Mental Discipline: Foundation for Change Jason establishes that managing addiction – whether our own or supporting others – begins with mental choices, not emotional reactions. "Every day, what I have control over is how I choose to view any situation," he emphasizes. Three Guiding Principles
Identity Change: The "Sober Secret" True recovery requires identity transformation beyond abstinence. "A lot of people can get sober, but the true recovery is identity change," Jason explains, sharing his transition from seeing himself as a failure to recognizing his qualification to help others. Understanding this distinction helps family members better support the whole-person transformation essential for lasting change. Understanding Fear Jason identifies two core fear categories that drive anxiety around addiction:
Service: The Antidote Participants share how serving others transformed their journeys. One notes: "Serving with other struggling parents has made such a difference. All my things about myself get lost in being of service." Actionable Takeaways
Resources
Jason concludes with gratitude for the community, acknowledging that transformation occurs through connection with others and a higher power.

| 04 Apr 2025 | Ep. 7 - The Decision-Making Framework That Changes Everything | 00:32:14 | |
In a compelling episode of The Get Unhooked Podcast, Jason Coombs celebrates 16 years of sobriety while revealing his proven three-step process for making critical decisions when supporting addicted loved ones. Through candid conversations with coaching session participants and reflections from his book "Unhooked," Jason provides a roadmap for families struggling with the complex terrain of addiction recovery. Episode Highlights
The Decision-Making Framework That Changes Everything Jason outlines a straightforward yet profound approach to making decisions when helping someone battling addiction:
The final key? Follow through on the course of action once determined. The Overlooked Power of Journaling Personal Revelations Jason emphasizes an essential practice for lasting recovery: maintaining a "personal revelation journal" to capture insights during moments of clarity. "These calls aren't just a one hour of, 'okay, I feel better now. Now what?' Think of these calls as opening up the channels of light and love to heaven and to your higher power," Jason explains. He recommends:
From Selling Hot Dogs to Saving Lives: Jason's Journey March 19, 2009 marks the beginning of Jason's sobriety journey. His path from selling hot dogs outside Home Depot to founding Brick House Recovery illustrates the unexpected ways recovery unfolds. "At the time I was like, my whole life squandered and I'm starting over," Jason recalls of his early sobriety at 31. "I was comparing myself to others that I'd gone to school with that were on their fourth kid and were vice presidents in their companies." A pivotal moment came through an unexpected sign – literally. While contemplating educational directions, Jason noticed a utility box marked "communications" – the exact program he'd researched the night before. This led him to meet his future wife and ultimately establish his treatment center. The Fingerprints of Guidance Jason introduces a perspective shift for those seeking direction: "Instead of looking for God's hand in our lives, look for his fingerprints." This approach transforms seemingly minor decisions into meaningful turning points:
