The Addiction Doctor Whose Been There & Recovered From That with Dr. Jason Giles

Dr. Jason Giles was not going to be an alcoholic for a very specific reason–his dad was an alcoholic and made him feel inadequate. He didn't go down that road, but becoming a doctor in the field of anesthesia gave him access to something else: fentanyl. In a major plot twist, what started as his own personal recovery turned into a passion for working with addicts.

While other doctors don't have to necessarily share in the same plight as their patients, Dr. Giles is convinced that there is something special about him being able to understand where his patients have been as well as them seeing the promise in where the work of recovery could lead.
