Rethinking Addiction: A Faith-Based Approach with Melissa and Jason

Brain change doesn't equal brain disease. And that's one of the things that addiction is not a disease.
What if addiction isn't a disease but something else entirely? In this episode of The Hope Report, hosts Melissa Huray and Jason Perry tackle this controversial topic head-on. Melissa shares her personal journey with addiction, explaining why she believes it's not a disease but a consequence of brain changes from prolonged substance use. The duo also dives into the importance of actively engaging in treatment programs and taking charge of one's recovery path.
They touch on the hyper palatability of food and the unique challenges faced by those dealing with addiction in rural areas. Throughout the episode, you'll hear inspiring stories of faith-based recovery and the crucial role of ministering to others in their journey. Whether you're a believer or just curious about a different perspective on addiction recovery, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement.
