Brandi Mac Biography

Brandi Mac is a critical care nurse practitioner, mother, and addiction advocate whose work is deeply rooted in personal experience.

Her journey began as a parent navigating her daughter’s fentanyl addiction, enduring countless sleepless nights and the repeated refrain that “she has to hit rock bottom.” In those moments, Mac realized that it was often the families who were left to suffer in silence, without meaningful support or guidance.

She has battled insurance companies, witnessed the failures of the addiction treatment industry, and seen firsthand how detox protocols often resembled punishment rather than care. Across nine treatment attempts in four years—each ending in relapse within 30 days—she encountered a system that made unrealistic promises, drained her family’s resources, and provided little direction for lasting recovery.

Motivated by these experiences, Mac created the work she wished had existed for her own family: compassionate, informed advocacy for families affected by addiction.
