Rise Recovery was recently featured on KSAT’s SA Live in a segment highlighting the growing challenges teens and families face related to substance and alcohol use — and how early support, open communication, and accessible resources can change the trajectory of a young person’s life.

During the interview, Rise Recovery staff shared insight into the realities many families are experiencing today, including increased exposure to high-risk substances and the pressures that often lead teens to experiment. The segment emphasized the importance of starting conversations early, staying informed as a parent or caregiver, and knowing when to reach out for help.

A key message spotlighted in the interview: Rise Recovery provides all services at no cost, removing barriers so families can get the support they need without hesitation. From peer-to-peer recovery coaching to youth programs, family support groups, and education on substance risks, Rise Recovery ensures that no one has to navigate this journey alone.

The KSAT feature also highlighted how Rise Recovery’s community-based approach creates safe, judgment-free spaces for teens to be honest, for families to rebuild trust, and for healing to take root. By focusing on relationship-building and support, Rise Recovery equips young people with tools for long-term recovery and healthier decision-making.

We are grateful to KSAT for helping raise awareness and for amplifying resources that can make a life-saving difference.
