Choosing Different Paths: Why Some Avoid Rehab in Addiction Recovery

Currently there's no standard definition of rehab, and this makes it challenging to measure how successful rehab and treatments are, because there's a lot of different stuff out there.
Why do some people battling addiction decide against rehab? This episode of 'Flowers for Zoe - Stories for Dennis' tackles this intriguing question head-on. Zoe, Daniel, and Lara dive deep into the reasons behind these decisions, sharing perspectives that are as varied as they are enlightening. Zoe's firsthand experiences as a fentanyl user, Daniel's heartfelt insights as a caregiver, and Lara's professional take as a Mental Health and Addictions Therapist create a rich tapestry of viewpoints.
They discuss the pros and cons of both inpatient and outpatient rehab, the importance of support systems, and alternative treatment methods. A significant point raised is the absence of a standard definition for rehab, which complicates measuring its success. The conversation also underscores the power of personal choice and the necessity of listening and learning from those affected by addiction.
Whether you're directly impacted by addiction or seeking to understand it better, this episode offers a blend of honesty, empathy, and practical insights.
