I think you know, if we understand that addiction isn't just about the drug use. If we just take away the drugs and don't help them understand, a- what the problem was and, b- how to manage things better, then there's a pretty good chance you're just going to end up going back into the same problem again.
Ever wondered how to truly help someone struggling with addiction, especially when they seem to have no desire to change? This episode of 'Hard Knox Talks: Sober Stories. Real Talk.' features Rand Teed, a veteran in the addictions field with over 40 years of experience, particularly focused on youth in Saskatchewan. Rand brings a wealth of knowledge and a unique perspective on harm reduction and regulated supply, making this conversation a must-listen for anyone affected by addiction.
Rand agrees that harm reduction saves lives but questions the benefits of unfettered access to regulated substances. His insights challenge common perceptions and offer a balanced view that considers both immediate safety and long-term recovery. He also delves into the importance of trauma support and the role of brain chemistry in addiction. With his extensive background, Rand discusses the complexities of addiction, emphasizing the need for compassionate and financially supportive treatment options.
This episode is packed with valuable information, from understanding addiction beyond just drug use to providing continuing care to prevent relapse. It's not just about stopping substance use; it's about creating a supportive environment for ongoing recovery. Whether you're grappling with addiction yourself, supporting a loved one, or simply seeking to understand more about this challenging issue, Rand's wisdom offers a comprehensive look at what effective addiction treatment should entail.
