DELAND, Fla., Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LA-based interventionist and recovery coach Pej Alaghamandan can help your viewers understand the answer. He works with families in crisis every week and is available for on-camera or phone interviews today and through the weekend. Joining him is Katherine Russell, founder of Foundations to Freedom, a nonprofit certified recovery residence.
They can speak to:
- The difference between a sober living home and a licensed treatment facility, and why California doesn’t license sober living
- Why the first 24 to 72 hours of early recovery are so high-risk
- What families should ask before choosing a recovery residence, including certification standards like NARR
- How to protect people in recovery without driving them away from the homes that are doing it right
Pej and Katherine are going live on Instagram today at 6pm Eastern PT (https://www.facebook.com/PejizCorner/) to answer questions from families. Your team is welcome to watch or pull clips.
Katherine Russell’s and Foundations to Freedom team are available for comment
