When Addiction Hits Home: What This Cop Saw on the Streets Changed Him Forever

This conversation left a permanent mark on my heart. In this episode, I sit down with Brock Bevell, former undercover cop, father, and recovering opioid addict, whose raw, unfiltered story is one of pain, purpose, and unbelievable resilience. From being run over during a drug bust to nearly losing his life (and his testicle) to a brutal infection, Brock doesn’t hold anything back. We talk about addiction, the fentanyl crisis sweeping Arizona, and how he clawed his way out of a decade-long opioid addiction after being medically retired from the police force.

But more than that, Brock shares the mission that drives him today, walking the streets every day, face to face with addiction, offering hope and help to people everyone else has given up on.

This episode is graphic, emotional, and deeply necessary. Whether you’re a parent, a first responder, or someone who’s faced the dark underbelly of addiction, you need to hear this.

We talk fentanyl, trafficking, mental health, parenting, and the staggering impact of untreated trauma.

You’ll walk away changed.
