When we wrote the Freedom Model, it was because we had been hurt by the treatment industry, we had been hurt by a, we had believed in the nonsense in it and it took Years of our lives away.
Ever wondered if the usual addiction treatment methods might be doing more harm than good? In this episode of 'The Freedom Model for Addictions', hosts Mark Scheeren and Michelle Dunbar dive into the controversial topic of how traditional addiction treatments can negatively affect families. They argue that addiction isn't a disease and criticize the effectiveness of 12-step programs.
The discussion takes a deep dive into how families are often manipulated by the treatment industry, sometimes to the point of what they call 'rehab kidnapping'. Instead of relying on these conventional methods, the hosts advocate for a model that emphasizes personal responsibility and self-change. They offer an alternative perspective that seeks to empower individuals and their families, breaking away from the fear and panic often associated with addiction.
If you're tired of the same old recovery methods and looking for a fresh, empowering approach, this episode is a must-listen.
