Court-Ordered Recovery: Breaking Barriers and Building Support
If you have been convicted of an offense related to alcohol or drug abuse, don’t be surprised if you are court mandated to attend a recovery support group meeting or even an out-patient or residential treatment facility.
Ever wondered how court-ordered recovery works and the stigma attached to it? This episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio' dives right into that. Monty Dale Meyer, affectionately known as the Monty'man, hosts a thought-provoking discussion on the policies of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) towards those mandated by the court to attend meetings. But it’s not just about policies; it's about real people facing real challenges.
Monty and his guests share personal stories and reflections on the often-judged path of court-ordered recovery. They explore the mixed attitudes within the recovery community and treatment centers towards these individuals. The episode also touches on the importance of community support and spirituality in aiding recovery. If you or someone you know is navigating this journey, this episode offers a blend of empathy, insight, and practical advice.
Plus, it features the closing song 'Don’t That Sound Like Life?' by Steve Dan Mills, adding a musical touch to the conversation. Tune in to understand more about how we can break the stigma and build a supportive environment for everyone on their path to sobriety.
