If in any part of your life you can think of progress, not perfection, as a way to think about moving forward, we could think about substance problems the same way.
What if the way we've been thinking about addiction recovery is all wrong? In this episode of the SMART Recovery® Podcast, Dr. Tom Horvath, co-founder of SMART Recovery, takes a deep dive into Dr. Nora Volkow's groundbreaking article in Health Affairs Magazine. Dr. Volkow, the director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), shakes up the recovery community by challenging long-held beliefs and offering fresh perspectives on addiction treatment. Dr.
Horvath discusses why it's crucial to consider non-abstinent goals in recovery and how medication-assisted treatment can be a game-changer for many. He also talks about the importance of embracing progress over perfection, a concept that could revolutionize how we approach recovery. This episode is perfect for anyone interested in new, science-based methods for overcoming addiction. Whether you're in recovery yourself, supporting a loved one, or simply curious about modern addiction treatment, you'll find this discussion both enlightening and inspiring.
