Our guests in this episode showcase that there are alternative approaches to addiction treatment that can cater to different goals, whether it be abstinence, moderation, or harm reduction.
What if traditional 12-step programs don't quite fit your needs? In this episode of Harm Reduction Radio - HAMS, host Kenneth Anderson sits down with two trailblazers in the field of addiction treatment. First up is Marc Kern, PhD, a pioneer in non-12 step addiction treatment since 1983. Kern shares his insights on achieving goals like abstinence, moderation, or harm reduction, all tailored to individual needs.
He co-authored 'Responsible Drinking' and has dedicated his career to helping people find their unique path to recovery. Then, Renee Franklin, a Certified Moderator and Board Treasurer for Women For Sobriety (WFS), takes the mic. WFS, founded by Jean Kirkpatrick PhD in 1975, offers a positive program featuring 13 affirmations designed specifically to support women alcoholics in their journey to abstain from alcohol. Franklin discusses the unique hurdles women face in recovery and how positive affirmations can be a game-changer.
The episode wraps up with Stanton Peele, adding his seasoned perspective on compulsive behavior and the future of addiction treatment. If you're looking for fresh perspectives on overcoming addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
