When Treatment Centers Miss the Mark: A Candid Discussion

Treatment centers have become the go-to solution for addicts and alcoholics who want to get better, but in our experience, treatment centers regularly fail to help their patients succeed after they've left.
Have you ever wondered why some treatment centers seem to miss the mark in helping people recover from addiction? In this episode of 'The Addiction and Mental Health Podcast', hosts Adam Fout, Michael Palma, and Samantha Mineroff dive into the nitty-gritty of why some treatment centers fail their patients. They don't sugarcoat the truth as they explore the common pitfalls, such as inadequate patient onboarding that leaves individuals feeling unprepared and lost.
The hosts also shine a light on the critical role of sponsorship and the 12-step program, arguing that these should be at the heart of any effective recovery plan. Trauma's impact on addiction is another key topic, with discussions on how both patients and treatment centers share responsibility in the recovery journey. While they don't hold back on criticizing the industry, they also acknowledge the dedication of those working within it.
If you're curious about what really goes on behind the scenes at treatment centers and how they can do better, this episode offers an eye-opening perspective.
