Although we don't give permission because we can't, because people have autonomy, we want to be unequivocal about our stance on moderation.
Is it possible to find balance when dealing with addiction? In this episode of 'The Freedom Model for Addictions', hosts Mark Scheeren and Michelle Dunbar tackle the often controversial idea of moderation as an alternative to the traditional abstinence-only approach. They break down long-standing myths that have dominated the treatment industry, arguing that moderation can be a viable option for many struggling with substance use issues.
The hosts share their own experiences with moderation and explore how societal views on drinking and drug use shape our understanding of addiction. They also scrutinize the effectiveness of 12-step programs and discuss the mindset of someone labeled an addict. With a focus on personal choice and autonomy, this episode offers a refreshing take on recovery, encouraging listeners to consider moderation as a legitimate path.
If you're tired of the all-or-nothing mentality in addiction treatment, this episode provides a thought-provoking alternative.
