At the end of the day, I still believe that abusing substances and a treatment center that specializes in helping people that abuse substances - it's okay to call them substance abuse treatment.
Ever wondered if the words we use can shape our recovery journey? In this episode of the Sober Grind Podcast, TherapyCable and his guests tackle the hot-button issue of language in addiction and recovery. They focus on the term 'substance abuser' and whether it's helpful or hurtful. Some argue that it's a necessary label, while others believe it adds to the stigma surrounding addiction.
The conversation doesn't stop there; it dives into how family dynamics and codependency play a role in addiction. The group also considers alternative terminology that might be less stigmatizing. If you're curious about how words can impact your recovery or that of someone you care about, this episode offers a fresh perspective. Tune in to join the debate and maybe rethink some of the labels we often take for granted.
