Exactly, there are many analogies to recovery from addiction. Again, that would be like saying treatment for diabetes doesn't work because I didn't take the medication and I didn't revise my diet and I didn't exercise.
How do you get someone on the path to long-term recovery? This episode of 'The Best Minds Podcast' dives deep into this question with guest Joe Nowinski, PhD, the author of 'If You Work It, It Works! The Science Behind Twelve Step Recovery.' Hosts Jeff Jay and Debra Jay sit down with Joe to uncover the research and personal experiences that make Twelve Step Recovery effective.
Joe shares insights from Project MATCH, the largest study on addiction recovery ever conducted, and breaks down how treatment can help individuals transition into their local recovery communities. He also discusses the critical role therapists play and the benefits of joining a Twelve Step Fellowship. But it’s not all smooth sailing; Joe addresses the common barriers people face when trying to get involved and explores the role of spirituality in recovery.
He emphasizes the importance of social networks and continued participation in sobriety. The episode also delves into collaborative approaches for family recovery and touches on potential biases against AA within the addiction therapy field. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting a loved one, this episode offers valuable insights into the science behind Twelve Step Recovery.
