VIDEO – A STAR KEEPS SHINING –

March 13, 2024 – McDermott, 57, explains that he “went into treatment and put [his] life back together,” adding he owes his life and newfound way of living to Harmony Place Treatment Center in Woodland Hills, CA., and Freedom House Sober Living. Once inside , the “Due South” star claims he made a deal with himself to be in “100 percent” or not at all.

“I was like, OK, I don’t know what that is,” the father of six says. “It sounds a little artsy fartsy. But I made a deal, I’m all in, so I’ll give it a try.”

“So I gave it a try, and I fell in love with it. It changed my life. The very first session I’ve ever had.” 

McDermott further says his life has been “amazing” since getting sober, explaining how his journey with recovery and breathwork has even influenced him to switch up his career and open the Conscious Community Global.

I WORK in recovery today because of my experience, in treatment and sober living,” the “Open Range” actor tells us. “I’m an alcohol and drug counselor, and I work with other treatment centers. I work with alcoholics and addicts and help them find the path, that I found and the one that I’m on now. It’s incredibly rewarding.
