Addiction, Redemption, and Purpose: Dr. Jake Strain’s Journey from Rock Bottom to Recovery Leadership

In this compelling episode of The Men of the House Podcast, host Richard Craft sits down with Dr. Jake Strain to explore a powerful story of addiction, redemption, and purpose.

Once on track for medical school, Jake’s life took a devastating turn when an opiate addiction threatened his career, reputation, and sense of identity. Following a highly publicized incident and a difficult rehab journey, he found himself rebuilding from the ground up — this time in Texas — only to face new challenges with the Texas Medical Board.

But Jake’s story doesn’t end in struggle. It’s a story of resilience, faith, and transformation. Today, he serves as a Facility Director for Cenikor, a leading substance abuse treatment organization, where he helps others find the same hope he once needed himself.

This episode dives deep into:

• The painful realities of addiction and public redemption
• What it means to rebuild your purpose after losing it all
• How Cenikor is transforming the landscape of recovery in Texas
• Why healing others often begins with forgiving yourself

Join us for an inspiring, honest conversation that reminds us — even in our darkest moments — purpose can still be found.
