Mastering Addiction Treatment: Advice from Clinical Case Worker Steve

When somebody comes to you and you meet with them for the first time, say they've been here three or four days and they say: well, you know, I appreciate it, Steve, um, but I'm going to be, I'm actually going back home in days. Um, it has been like that in my life and a lot of my friends in recovery.
Ever wondered what makes some addiction treatments work while others fall short? This episode of Real Recovery Talk brings you a deep dive into this question with Steve, a clinical case worker at Rock Recovery Center. Host Tom Conrad sits down with Steve to discuss the ins and outs of successful addiction treatment. Steve, who works closely with clients every day, shares his wealth of experience on what it takes to achieve lasting sobriety.

However, he stresses that learning from these setbacks and staying connected to the recovery community can make all the difference.

Whether you're just starting your journey or looking for ways to maintain your sobriety, Steve's insights offer practical and heartfelt guidance. Tune in to hear more about how you can take charge of your recovery and build a life of lasting sobriety.
