Zach Rhoads: Rethinking Addiction Treatment with Common Sense

Maybe good, if we've got back to fundamentals and we're just able to stay honest through the whole thing about what these things do and what they don't do, so that you know and they don't influence policies that could become confused.
Why do we often overlook evidence when it comes to addiction treatment? Zach Rhoads tackles this question head-on in an eye-opening episode of 'Challenging Pathos'. Alongside his co-author Stanton Peele, Zach challenges the traditional disease model of addiction, advocating for a more practical, common-sense approach. Their book, 'Outgrowing Addiction, With Common Sense Instead of Disease Therapy', delves into why current treatments are often expensive, inaccessible, and ineffective. Instead, they propose a self-led recovery model that emphasizes honesty and accessibility.
Zach's insights push for a shift in how we think about addiction and recovery, aiming to make treatment more practical and less burdensome. This episode is a must-listen for anyone questioning the status quo in addiction treatment or seeking new perspectives on drug policy.
