“And I feel like, when we talk about structure, there's this whole belief system that we're operating under, which is, like Lori said, connection, communication, self-care, and then preparing these opportunities to discuss treatment when the time comes, and how do you even know what to do?”
Ever wondered what makes one addiction support program different from another? In this episode of 'Coming Up for Air', hosts Laurie McDougall, Kayla Solomon, and Dominique Simone-Lavigne break down the distinctions between CRAFT (Community Reinforcement and Family Training), Al-Anon, and traditional intervention methods. They dive into the unique elements of each approach, highlighting how CRAFT's emphasis on self-awareness and behavior modification sets it apart.
You'll hear about the evidence-based strategies that make CRAFT effective, including tools to help you recognize what works for your loved one and how to make positive choices that encourage long-term change. The hosts also discuss the importance of connection, communication, and self-care in navigating the complexities of addiction within a family. This episode is packed with practical advice and heartfelt stories, offering a lifeline to families seeking a path forward.
