In this episode of the Addiction Recovery Podcast, hosts Ronnie LeDuff and Michael Oakley welcome Mario Mendizabal from Serenity Treatment Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana for a powerful conversation about recovery, outreach, and turning personal transformation into service for others.

Mario’s journey into recovery is deeply personal. After finding freedom from addiction himself, he now dedicates his time to helping others find hope and healing through his work with Serenity Treatment Center. Mario often shares his story publicly to encourage people struggling with addiction and to show that recovery is truly possible.

Through his outreach efforts, Mario has spoken at community events and even participated in programs with the Louisiana Department of Corrections during Recovery Month, using his story to inspire individuals who may feel like they have no way out.

In this episode, Mario talks with Ronnie and Michael about what it takes to rebuild your life after addiction, the importance of community support, and why sharing our stories can literally save lives. His story is a reminder that recovery doesn’t just change one life—it creates a ripple effect of hope for others.
