What if there were effective, evidence-based methods to help your loved ones struggling with substance abuse? In this episode of 'Harm Reduction Radio - HAMS', host Kenneth Anderson brings you a conversation with two experts who have dedicated their careers to innovative addiction solutions. Dr.
Robert Meyers, co-author of 'Get Your Loved One Sober', introduces us to CRAFT (Community Reinforcement and Family Training), a program designed to help families support their loved ones through positive reinforcement rather than nagging or threatening. He breaks down how CRAFT works, offering practical advice for families navigating the challenging waters of addiction. Next, we hear from Craig Whalley, the executive director of LifeRing, a secular sobriety support group that encourages members to build their own paths to recovery.
LifeRing's approach focuses on cross-talk and mutual support, creating a community where people can share their journeys without the need for religious or spiritual frameworks. Throughout the episode, Anderson and his guests discuss the importance of understanding substance abuse triggers, effective stress management techniques, and the concept of sobriety sampling. These strategies align perfectly with harm reduction principles, aiming to empower individuals and families to take control of their recovery journeys.
This episode is packed with actionable insights and compassionate advice, making it a must-listen for anyone dealing with addiction, whether personally or through a loved one. Tune in for a blend of professional expertise and heartfelt discussion that offers real hope and practical solutions.
