We like to keep you separated at the beginning...but for that of the population that's still struggling, they need something else right.
How crucial is family support in addiction recovery? In this episode of 'Collateral Damage', hosts Maureen Cavanagh and Michael Wilson dive into this topic with special guest Diana Clark. Diana brings a wealth of experience in creating family support groups and sheds light on the often-overlooked role families play before, during, and after treatment. The conversation ranges from the struggles of finding quality long-term treatment to the importance of community support groups for families feeling isolated.
Diana emphasizes that while respecting an individual's privacy is important, family involvement can be a game-changer for those hesitant about treatment. The trio also tackle the thorny issue of balancing privacy with the need for family participation, arguing that keeping families involved can offer essential motivation and support. They discuss the financial hurdles many face in accessing affordable care and stress the need for advocacy and education in the addiction treatment landscape.
By sharing personal anecdotes and broader insights, this episode offers a comprehensive look at how families can be pillars of strength in the recovery journey. If you're dealing with addiction personally or through a loved one, this episode provides invaluable perspectives on the power of acceptance, embracing pain, and the potential for growth through recovery.
