Reimagining Addiction Treatment: Choices for Healthcare Professionals
To me this notion that you have to strip someone of all of their control and take over that for them and not provide them with the ability to have some agency and the ability to choose the direction of what their recovery looks like. That doesn't make any sense to me.
Imagine a world where healthcare professionals struggling with addiction have more say in their treatment options. In this thought-provoking episode of the Recovery Machine Podcast, hosts Nathan McLean and Corey Williams dive into the idea of giving these professionals more control over their recovery journey. They challenge the traditional intake process, questioning why it's often so rigid and how it impacts not just the individuals but their families too.
The conversation doesn't shy away from tough questions, like what it would mean for the industry if more choice were introduced. Would it empower those in recovery or create new challenges? Nathan and Corey believe that more agency could lead to better outcomes, arguing that stripping someone of all control might not be the best path to healing. Instead, they advocate for a model where healthcare workers can choose their recovery direction, potentially transforming the way addiction treatment is approached.
Tune in to hear their compelling arguments and join the discussion on how we can rethink addiction treatment for those on the frontlines of healthcare.
