The beauty of the book is that that night's not going to happen if you follow the steps in there.
Imagine trying to help a loved one break free from addiction but feeling utterly lost on where to start. That's where this episode of 'Captain Hooked: The Addiction Project' steps in. Addiction psychiatrist Dr. Wiplove Lamba and addictions case manager Jean-Paul Michael team up to shed light on the CRAFT model (Community Reinforcement and Family Training). Developed by psychologist Robert Meyers, CRAFT is a game-changer for families navigating the turbulent waters of addiction.
It focuses on three main goals: reducing substance use, encouraging treatment, and improving the family's well-being, regardless of whether the person quits using substances. JP, who has walked the path of addiction himself, shares his journey of discovering CRAFT and how it transformed his approach to helping others. With their combined expertise, Dr. Wip and JP break down complex concepts into digestible advice, making it easier for families to create supportive environments that encourage sobriety.
They also highlight the importance of self-care for family members, reminding listeners that their well-being matters too. The episode isn't just about theory; it's packed with real-life stories from families in Canada who have found hope through CRAFT. These narratives offer a beacon of light for anyone feeling overwhelmed by a loved one's addiction. Whether you're a family member desperate for guidance or a healthcare provider looking for effective interventions, this episode provides practical tools and heartfelt encouragement.
So, if you're tired of waiting for 'rock bottom' and want to take proactive steps toward recovery, tune in to learn how you can make a difference in your loved one's life—and your own.
