The Recovery Conversation
The Zac Clark Show
The Zac Clark Show is a powerful resource for individuals, families, and
communities seeking honest conversations around addiction, mental health,
and recovery. Hosted by Zac Clark — who knows addiction from both sides,
as a former heroin addict who rebuilt his life and as Founder and CEO of
Release Recovery — the podcast challenges stigma and reshapes the
conversation around recovery. Each week, behavioral healthcare experts,
public figures, and everyday people join Zac to share real stories, practical
tools, and hope for those navigating substance use and mental health
challenges, offering proof that recovery is possible.
The podcast is a storytelling platform that opens the door to understanding,
whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply curious
about the human experience.
