Ever felt lost trying to find help for addiction? Episode 17 of the Family Addiction Coaching podcast is here to guide you through the maze. Host Patrick Doyle shares sixteen practical steps that can be taken today to find help for addiction. With his extensive background as a social worker and family addiction coach, Patrick offers tips that aren't just theoretical—they're based on real-life experiences and successes.
Did you know you can call a 24-hour hotline at 211 for immediate intake appointments? Or that having a medical professional call ahead to an ER can get you better care? Patrick also highlights the importance of patient choice in treatment decisions, a principle that aligns with the Motivational Interviewing and Community Reinforcement And Family Training (CRAFT) approach, which has a remarkable 70% success rate.
Other nuggets include using Telehealth services through your health insurance and leveraging the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA)'s Navigator search engine for unbiased treatment options. He even touches on the potential pitfalls of residential rehabs and suggests alternatives like Safe Stations firehouses in some cities, where you can connect with a Recovery Coach.
