The journey to abstinence is almost as important, if not more important than the abstinence itself
Picture this: you're struggling with addiction and mental health issues, but the traditional treatment methods just don't seem to fit. In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods, alongside her guest Mark, dives into why the old ways of treating addiction might need a serious update. They discuss how the conventional 'wait until you're ready' approach often leaves many people out in the cold, especially when mental illness is part of the equation.
Instead, they champion newer methods like stages of change, motivational interviewing, and harm reduction. These strategies are shaking up the recovery world, challenging the notion that abstinence is the only path to recovery. Mark shares his experiences from England, where blending professional and peer input is making waves. They also touch on the emotional hurdles faced during recovery and how these can be as significant as achieving abstinence itself.
If you're curious about how modern approaches are reshaping addiction treatment and want to hear some real talk about the complexities of recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
