When you think about treatment, we operated in a very modernistic mentality and even though culture shifted from modern to postmodern, we remained in that modern mentality which was: I have the authority you do it my way. If you don't do it my way, it's not going to work.
How do addiction treatment providers keep up with the ever-evolving landscape of cultural beliefs and individualism? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Recovery Unscripted', David Condos chats with Christopher Pasquale, an outpatient treatment director, about the challenges and opportunities that come with treating addiction in a postmodern world. Pasquale emphasizes the need for clinicians to move away from the rigid 'my way or the highway' approach and instead focus on building trust and understanding with their clients.
He believes that recovery should be a joyful journey, not just for those seeking help but for the providers as well. Drawing inspiration from Plato's 'Allegory of the Cave', Pasquale shares how he helps clients navigate their path from darkness to light, encouraging them to find their own way to recovery. Through his experiences as both a pastor and a treatment provider, he highlights the importance of meeting people where they are and adapting programs to fit their unique needs.
If you're interested in how addiction treatment can evolve to meet the demands of a postmodern society, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
