What if the way that we're looking at addiction in that we look at it as a disorder or a disease? Some people look at it as a disease. What if that perspective is actually affecting the way that we treat it in a negative way, in that we're assuming that a person is dysfunctional because they have a propensity to want to self-soothe via whatever addictive behavior it is- eating drugs or they've already adapted a behavior that involves some sort of addiction?
Imagine if everything you thought you knew about addiction was turned on its head. In this eye-opening debut episode of the Recovery Machine Podcast, hosts Nathan McLean and Corey Williams dive into a fascinating discussion that challenges the conventional wisdom surrounding addiction. Both former healthcare workers with firsthand experience in drug addiction, Nathan and Corey bring a unique blend of professional insight and personal empathy to the table.
They propose a thought-provoking idea: what if addiction isn't a disorder or disease, but rather a spectrum of sensitivity? This fresh perspective could reshape how we understand and address addiction from an early age. The hosts delve into the potential genetic predispositions that might make some individuals more sensitive to addictive behaviors and discuss how this knowledge could transform drug and alcohol education in schools.
They also explore the idea of modifying addiction treatment as people go through different life stages, emphasizing the crucial role of empathy in effective recovery. This conversation is both engaging and raw, prompting listeners to rethink their assumptions and beliefs about addiction. Whether you're a healthcare professional, someone struggling with addiction, or simply curious about new approaches to this complex issue, this episode offers valuable insights and a lot to ponder.
Tune in to the Recovery Machine Podcast for a deep dive into a new way of thinking about addiction.
