Somewhere in between all these models lies a much better conceptualization of addiction, taking into account emotional, spiritual, psychological, medical, social and other environmental and internal factors to help us decide more accurately, for each individual who struggles with addiction, what model might most help them understand their condition and to get well.
Ever wondered how addiction can be understood from different perspectives? Dr. Rick Barnett dives into this intricate topic by examining three major models of addiction: the disease model, the spiritual illness model, and the choice model. Each model brings its own set of strengths and limitations to the table, and Dr. Barnett doesn't shy away from discussing them all. He believes that somewhere between these models lies a more comprehensive understanding of addiction.
By taking an individualized approach that considers emotional, spiritual, psychological, medical, social, and other factors, Dr. Barnett aims to offer a nuanced view that challenges conventional beliefs. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of addiction and explore how various factors contribute to it.
