Garrett Braukman: Embracing Creativity in Recovery with Alta Centers
We believe in a model that is contained but also gives an individual the freedom to deal with issues as they arise in their treatment experience.
What if recovery didn't mean stepping away from your everyday life? Garrett Braukman, Director of Operations at Alta Centers, joins the 'Since Right Now' podcast to share a fresh perspective on addiction treatment. Garrett, who is in recovery himself, chats with Jeff, Matt, and Chris about how Alta Centers offers an out-patient program that blends creativity with evidence-based practices. This approach allows individuals to maintain their daily routines while working on their sobriety.
Garrett opens up about his personal journey, including his experiences with therapy and support groups, which led him to believe in the power of integrating sobriety into one's daily life rather than isolating it. He explains how Alta Centers' model provides a supportive environment while granting the freedom to tackle issues as they arise. This balance helps clients stay engaged and active in their recovery process.
The conversation also touches on the stigma surrounding sobriety and the importance of finding joy and community in recovery.

He discusses the significance of personal growth and how creativity can be a powerful tool in the journey to sobriety. Throughout the episode, Garrett and the hosts explore the challenges of tailoring recovery programs to fit individual needs.
They highlight the importance of allowing clients to choose what works best for them, fostering a sense of ownership and empowerment in their recovery journey.
