RE-RELEASE: Breaking Cycles of Addiction: Niki T’s Story of Recovery, Motherhood, and Advocacy

In this powerful episode of The Hanley Effect, Dr. Rachel Docekal and Dr. John Dyben are joined by Turner Benoit, Chief Philanthropy Officer at Hanley Foundation, and Niki T, a former Hanley Center patient whose journey through recovery has transformed her life, and the lives of others.

Niki shares her deeply personal story of addiction, recovery, and rebuilding. Today, she is not only a devoted mother but also a professional in the field of forensic social work and a passionate advocate for women and families impacted by substance use disorder. Her story is a testament to what’s possible when compassionate, comprehensive care meets determination and hope.

Turner Benoit offers insight into Hanley’s mission-driven programming and the life-changing impact of Casa Flores, a specialized, family-centered treatment program designed to support pregnant women and mothers while keeping families together. Casa Flores addresses the unique needs of women and children, helping break generational cycles of addiction through trauma-informed care, parenting support, and long-term recovery planning.

This episode highlights the power of recovery, the importance of supporting mothers, and the profound ripple effect that healing one person can have on an entire family.
