One of the things pat deegan really emphasizes is that our psychiatric system is organized around the idea that a good patient is a compliant patient.
Imagine trying to juggle multiple challenges at once. That's the reality for many dealing with addiction and co-occurring psychiatric symptoms. In this episode of the Landmark Recovery Podcast, host Zach Crouch chats with Jason Schwartz, an expert in addiction treatment, about how to navigate these complexities. Schwartz, who has worked with organizations like Dawn Farm, shares his deep understanding of identifying and treating co-occurring disorders.
He emphasizes the need for person-centered treatment, moving away from the traditional 'compliant patient' model that often falls short. Schwartz dives into the assessment phase of treatment, where a team of clinicians collaborates to tailor the best approach for each individual. A standout point in the discussion is the concept of personal medicine—finding unique strategies that help manage symptoms and enhance well-being. Whether it's taking a walk or another activity, the key is that it's personalized.
Schwartz also touches on stress reduction techniques to prevent future psychotic episodes, highlighting the importance of holistic care in recovery. This episode offers a treasure trove of insights for anyone affected by addiction and co-occurring disorders, making it a must-listen for those seeking a more nuanced understanding of recovery.
