Rethinking Aftercare: Is It Really Necessary for Addiction Recovery?
Recovery is medicine for the disease of addiction, but the disease of addiction doesn't exist. So logically, you have to question whether recovery is necessary.
Ever wondered if aftercare is truly essential for addiction recovery? In this thought-provoking episode of the Addiction Solution Podcast, hosts Mark Scheeren and Michelle Dunbar challenge the traditional views on aftercare. They start by questioning the widely accepted notion of addiction as a disease and debunking myths surrounding rehab and 12-step programs. The hosts dive into the controversial idea that aftercare might actually be more harmful than helpful, reinforcing a sense of helplessness rather than empowerment.
They also touch on the role of trauma in addiction and how adopting unconventional perspectives can help break free from the addiction trap. This episode offers a fresh take on recovery, encouraging listeners to consider new ways of thinking about addiction and reclaiming control over their lives. If you're looking for a different approach to addiction recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
