Ever wondered how to truly support someone struggling with addiction? In this episode of 'Faded', John Iudice, a seasoned expert with 16 years of experience in substance use and mental health, shares his invaluable insights. As the Program Director for Addiction Recovery Services in Portsmouth, NH, John offers a candid discussion on the complexities of addiction treatment and recovery. He emphasizes that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution, advocating for tailored approaches that meet individuals where they are in their journey.
John highlights the importance of creating inclusive environments where people feel safe to share their experiences. He also dives into the significance of an empowerment-based approach, encouraging individuals to make healthier, autonomous decisions. Communication is another crucial element in recovery. John discusses how people with substance use disorders often struggle with expressing their feelings and setting boundaries. By learning to communicate effectively and establish healthy boundaries, individuals can make significant strides in their recovery.
John also touches on the impact of codependency, offering resources like 'Codependent No More' and the Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) approach to help families navigate these challenges. This episode isn't just about the mechanics of recovery; it’s about reducing stigma and understanding addiction as a disease. John’s compassionate perspective aims to replace shame with hope, making this episode a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction.
