Actually, I couldn't believe the behavior of the women who were guarding the gates as we walked in a little late because we couldn't get parking, and I was like: are you kidding me? So you have created something that's really different.
Imagine a world where recovery from alcohol dependency doesn’t mean surrendering to a one-size-fits-all program. In this episode of 'Safe Recovery', Monica Richardson sits down with Dr. Ed Wilson, Clinical Director of Non 12 Step, to discuss his groundbreaking approach to addiction treatment. Dr. Wilson brings over two decades of experience and a wealth of knowledge as a California Master Registered Addictions Specialist and Nationally Certified Master Addictions Counselor.
He believes in treating individuals as unique and capable, rather than powerless victims of their circumstances. His methods focus on personalized treatment plans that address the real issues behind alcohol misuse, rather than redirecting the problem. Dr. Wilson challenges the traditional AA model, pointing out that it can be detrimental to some individuals. He shares compelling insights into how alternative approaches can be more effective for those who have outgrown or been harmed by AA.
The conversation covers the benefits of naltrexone, a medication that helps about 70% of people struggling with alcohol dependency, and the importance of setting measurable, quantifiable goals in recovery. Dr. Wilson also touches on the dangers of using alcohol as a form of self-medication, such as substituting it for hormone replacement therapy without realizing it.
He advocates for support groups that align with personal interests, like Habitat for Humanity or the Audubon Society, which can provide meaningful and fulfilling community connections. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking an empowering and individualized approach to overcoming alcohol dependency. Dr. Wilson’s insights offer hope and practical solutions for creating a better life, free from the constraints of traditional recovery methods.
