We're dealing with human beings and each human being, just like their fingerprint, is unique and you have to wrap the program around the individual, not put the individual through the program.
What happens when you combine a passion for helping others with a deep understanding of mental health and addiction? You get Craig LaMont, CEO of Telos Residential Treatment, sharing his inspiring journey on the Illuminate Recovery Podcast. Hosts Curt Neider and Shelley Mangum sit down with LaMont to explore his early draw to the field and how he identified gaps in the industry during his graduate studies.
They discuss the importance of seeing individuals as human beings rather than just cases, which is central to Telos' approach. LaMont's philosophy is all about tailoring treatment to fit each person's unique needs. He emphasizes the value of skills training and the power of personal connections in therapy. One standout story involves an addicted mother of four who has managed to live without pain pills for over two years thanks to the individualized care at Telos.
This episode dives into the practical aspects of effective treatment, including the limitations and potential of formal diagnoses. The conversation also touches on the challenges and rewards of working with adolescents, aiming to help them lead full and meaningful lives. LaMont's insights are not just for professionals in the field; they offer hope and practical advice for anyone touched by mental health or addiction issues.
If you're looking for a thoughtful and compassionate discussion on how personalized care can make a real difference, this episode is a must-listen.
