Our goal should be to expand strength and utilize solutions that have worked for people in the past.
Ever felt like the treatment system for addiction and mental health is more of a hurdle than a help? In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods teams up with Reid S to dive into the deep end of stigma and discrimination in dual diagnosis treatment. They take a hard look at why people are often discharged when they need help the most, and how the medical model might be falling short.
But it’s not all doom and gloom. The duo champions a strength-based approach that flips the script by focusing on what individuals can do rather than what they can't. By building on past successes and existing strengths, this method aims to create a treatment plan that's all about progress, not perfection. And it’s not just the professionals who have a role to play.
Family members and loved ones are crucial allies in this journey, providing support and encouragement along the way. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand how we can better support those dealing with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders.
