Addicts use most of the time because they're depressed or they have anxiety, besides being bored and all the other stuff right. So look at all these co-contributing factors.
What happens when a 10th-degree black belt turns his focus from martial arts to addiction recovery? Meet John Giordano, a man with 37 years of sobriety under his belt and a passion for helping others find their way to a healthier life. In this episode of the Illuminate Recovery Podcast, John shares his incredible journey from battling addiction to becoming a leading figure in the recovery community at South Beach Detox.
He’s not just any advocate; he’s someone who has lived through the struggles and emerged stronger, making his insights invaluable. John talks about how outdated many treatment methods are, some even based on 70-year-old practices. He emphasizes the importance of addressing co-contributing factors like depression and anxiety, which often accompany addiction. One of the most intriguing parts of the conversation is his discussion on Reward Deficiency Syndrome and how it impacts addiction.
But that's not all—John also dives into the benefits of holistic treatments, including hyperbaric medicine, and how structured environments can make a world of difference in recovery. His approach is refreshingly modern, backed by current research and real-life success stories. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in the latest in addiction treatment, this episode offers something for everyone.
Tune in to hear John’s inspiring story and gain practical advice on navigating the complex landscape of addiction recovery.
