Tailored Treatment: A New Approach to Addiction Recovery
Would addiction treatment protocols be more effective if they were focused on specific substances? We know that different addictions come with their own unique challenges.
Imagine if addiction treatment was as unique as the substances themselves. That's the intriguing question Nathan McLean and Corey Williams tackle in this episode of the Recovery Machine Podcast.

From alcohol to opioids, and MDMA to methamphetamine, Nathan and Corey discuss how a one-size-fits-all model might be falling short. Could more focused treatment plans offer better outcomes for those struggling with addiction? The hosts also highlight the power of group therapy, suggesting that sharing experiences within substance-specific groups can provide unique insights and support. This episode is a thought-provoking exploration of how we might reshape addiction recovery to be more effective and empathetic.
