Speaker on Addiction Recovery & Family Healing

Jeff Jones MA, LPC, CRNC1 is the founder of The Family Recovery Solution (TFRS) and creator of a systematic approach designed to help families become more effective in supporting their loved one’s recovery journey – whether that family member is still using, in treatment, or maintaining sobriety for months, years, and beyond.

With years of experience in traditional helping roles, Jeff kept asking two crucial questions: “How do people actually get better?” and “How do families contribute to the solution?” Through his advanced training in addiction and mental health nutrition, Jeff discovered what traditional addiction recovery was missing – that lasting change requires addressing both the biological foundations of addiction AND the family patterns that either support or hinder recovery.

Drawing from years of professional experience, Jeff found that most addiction treatment focuses on behavior change while ignoring the nutritional deficiencies and brain chemistry imbalances that fuel cravings and relapse. Meanwhile, families are continually blamed, shamed, and separated from the recovery process instead of being equipped with strategies that actually work.

Because of his own family upbringing and years of witnessing families doing their best in impossible situations, Jeff sees how families are negatively labeled by professionals. This personal experience, combined with his professional expertise, drives his passion for decreasing daily deaths from addiction by giving families tools with decades of research behind them that traditional treatment often overlooks.

As part of his comprehensive approach, Jeff integrates cutting-edge nutritional protocols, provides referrals to colleagues he considers expert in their fields, and promotes research from the 1960s that addresses the biological foundations of addiction recovery through proper nutrition and amino acid therapy. His collaborative network includes both credentialed professionals and experienced practitioners who bring diverse expertise to family recovery support.

His “Start with Family First” method represents years of refinement into a 3-5 year continuum of services that begins with family education and expands to holistic individual and family healing with systems for tracking change over time. Jeff supports families regardless of their treatment preferences, whether they choose nutritional approaches, pharmaceutical medications, or a combination of both – honoring each family’s unique path while providing tools that complement any recovery approach.

Jeff has been featured on numerous podcasts and presents to treatment centers and organizations, sharing his years of expertise in family engagement strategies and nutritional support for optimal brain function.
