Actor, Singer, Dancer Frankie Grande on Addiction, Recovery, and Fame

Do you have a few too many glasses of wine? Crack open a 6-pack of beer every time you watch a game on TV? Do you smoke weed or take prescription medications, like benzodiazepines, to help you get through your day? Or did you overdo it with alcohol or drugs in the past? It’s no surprise that substance use is harmful to your brain. But is that harm permanent? Or can you heal your brain even if you’ve been bad to it?

It got to a point where the entertainer thought, “It’s time to make a change, otherwise you’re going to be dead.” Fortunately, he chose life. After 4 years of sobriety, he wondered if his SPECT scan would reveal a brain ravaged by his past substance abuse. The results surprised him.
