Innovative Addiction Treatment with Ryan Paul Carruthers of Abintra Counseling

So I think any kind of efforts like you're doing, like we're doing, to just kind of spread the message of positive change, is change and it is positive and everyone should be behind it.
What if addiction treatment could be more personalized and compassionate? In this episode of Harm Reduction Radio - HAMS, host Kenneth Anderson sits down with Ryan Paul Carruthers, the executive director of Abintra Counseling in Nebraska. Abintra Counseling stands out for its unique approach, blending Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and harm reduction techniques. Carruthers delves into the importance of building trust and relationships with clients, using tools like value cards to address ambivalence and discrepancies in substance use.
He shares his candid thoughts on 12-step programs and emphasizes meeting clients where they are in their journey. Throughout their conversation, Carruthers highlights the power of positive change and the need for hope and transformation in addiction treatment. As the field continues to evolve towards evidence-based, person-centered methods, Abintra Counseling is at the forefront with its innovative and empathetic approach. Tune in to learn how these strategies are making a real difference in people's lives.
