In this episode of Real Recovery Talk, hosts Tom Conrad and Ben take a deep dive into the first three months of addiction treatment. They share their unique methods for measuring progress and highlight common stumbling blocks that clients often encounter. One unexpected challenge they discuss is video game addiction, which can derail recovery by disrupting sleep and focus.
Tom and Ben offer real-life examples to illustrate these points, making the episode both relatable and eye-opening.
