If, however, your measure of success is serious reduction, then all of a sudden you start to realize- you know I will appeal to the reader's experience, because many of them probably have attended-step fellowships- or know people who have.
Ever wondered if the way we've been treating addiction is all wrong? In this eye-opening episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', Mary Woods chats with Peter Ferentzy, Ph.D., who brings a unique perspective to the table. With over 20 years of research and personal experience as a former crack addict and alcoholic, Ferentzy isn't afraid to challenge the status quo.
He dives into the controversial idea that abstinence isn't the only path to recovery, advocating instead for harm reduction and a broader understanding of what it means to live a decent life. Ferentzy also touches on the tragic death of Amy Winehouse, questioning where the real blame lies, and shares his thoughts on why zero tolerance policies are flawed. He opens up about losing two close friends to overdoses, attributing their deaths to ineffective treatment models.
This episode isn't just about pointing out what's wrong; it's about offering new ways to think about recovery, including the importance of community support and family involvement. If you're looking for a fresh take on addiction treatment, this episode is a must-listen.
