A thorough understanding of both treatment and the elements of self-help would be a pretty big factor in any staff member at any level, working with folks with this complex set of conditions.
How do you bridge the gap between traditional 12 step recovery programs and the complex needs of those with co-occurring disorders? In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods dives into this critical topic with guests Gordon Johnson and Jim Wuelfing. They challenge the myths and misconceptions surrounding traditional treatment methods and highlight the importance of evidence-based practices.
The conversation gets real about the barriers that both participants and providers face, especially when 12 step support meetings are recommended. They also share specific strategies developed by WestBridge over the past 15 years to integrate individuals with co-occurring disorders into the 12 step community. Along the way, they discuss the vital role of family, peer support, and mentorship in the recovery process.
The episode doesn't shy away from exploring how mindfulness can aid in recovery and even offers internet resources for additional support. As Gordon Johnson puts it, understanding both treatment and self-help elements is crucial for anyone working with these complex conditions. Tune in for an enlightening discussion that could change how you view recovery.
