Why Women Leave Recovery... and What Brings Them Back
with Ashley Franich
About this episode
Why do women leave recovery programs? And what brings them back? Ashley Franich joins me to talk about the real reasons women want to leave residential treatment. The number one issue is simple and brutal. Missing children. That ache will hijack every thought. Ashley shares what it looked like when staff rallied around women in those moments. Praying through panic. Sitting with them through the night. We talk about the unforced rhythms of grace from Matthew 11 and how women need space to breathe.

About the Podcast
Rebuilding Life After Addiction is a weekly conversation for anyone walking the long road of recovery, and for the families walking it with them.
Hosted by Justin Franich and Robert Grant, two guys with over 40 years of combined recovery between them. Justin is a former meth addict who went through Teen Challenge in 2005, spent nearly two decades in recovery ministry leadership, and now helps families navigate addiction through content, referrals, and real talk. Robert served 18 years in prison before finding freedom through faith-based recovery. Today he leads family support calls at Shenandoah Valley Teen Challenge and brings a perspective that only comes from living it.
Each episode features honest conversations about faith, identity, and what it actually looks like to stay free. Not surface-level recovery talk. Not religious platitudes. Real stories from real people who've been in the pit and climbed out.
Whether you're rebuilding your own life, loving someone who is, or serving in ministry, this podcast is for you.
