It's not our job to tell somebody if they're an addict or alcoholic. As a clinician, I might assign a diagnosis of a substance use disorder and I actually see that a little bit different.
Ever thought about how a walk in the woods might help in recovery? Adam Marion, CEO of Black Bear Lodge, certainly has. In this episode of 'Recovery Unscripted', he chats with David Condos about the unique ways nature aids in treating substance use and mental health disorders. Located in the serene mountains of north Georgia, Black Bear Lodge offers a tranquil setting where patients can reconnect with what truly matters.
Adam’s background in wilderness therapy shines through as he explains how the great outdoors can be a powerful teacher during treatment. He believes that seeing nature as a cycle can offer new perspectives, especially for those battling depression. But it's not just about the scenery. Black Bear Lodge takes a non-judgmental approach to recovery, meeting patients where they are in their journey. Instead of labeling individuals, they focus on understanding each person’s stage of change and offering compassionate support.
This episode is a must-listen if you're curious about how nature and empathy can play pivotal roles in recovery.
