We need to have a little bit more nuance on both sides because you know, like I've said, there are safe groups, there are safe people and there's a lot of benefits of step.
Can harm reduction and Twelve Step recovery go hand in hand? In this eye-opening episode of Recovery Talk, Kim Gannon and Emily Pasman dive into this very question. They share their personal journeys through Twelve Step programs, all while embracing harm reduction values. These two remarkable women don't just talk the talk—they walk the walk, blending their lived experiences with professional research to challenge traditional recovery norms.
Kim and Emily open up about their ongoing journey to reconcile these seemingly opposing concepts. They discuss the hurdles they've faced and the breakthroughs they've achieved. Their conversation doesn't shy away from the tough questions: How can clinicians and family members better support recovery? What policy changes are needed to integrate harm reduction into Twelve Step programs? Listeners will find themselves nodding along as Kim and Emily emphasize the importance of making room for non-traditional pathways to recovery.
They argue that combining harm reduction with Twelve Step philosophies could pave the way for more inclusive and effective recovery options. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just curious about the evolving landscape of addiction treatment, this episode offers valuable perspectives and practical insights. Tune in to hear how these trailblazers are challenging the status quo and advocating for a more inclusive approach to recovery.
