Addiction impacts the entire family system...most of the information about addiction is outdated, doesn't work, and often makes things worse.
Have you ever wondered why early recovery from addiction is so tough? In this episode of 'Living With Your Child's Addiction', Heather Ross teams up with Nicole Miller, a certified drug and alcohol counselor, to shed light on this complex journey. They dive deep into how substance use rewires the brain, particularly its reward center, making early recovery a daunting task.
But it's not just about the science; they also touch on the emotional and psychological hurdles that come with the territory. Nicole brings her expertise in addiction pharmacology, explaining why understanding these changes can help families support their loved ones better and take things less personally. They also explore Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) and its role in easing the path to recovery.
This episode is packed with practical advice and compassionate insights, making it a must-listen for any parent grappling with their child's addiction. Tune in to learn how you can foster a supportive environment and set the stage for your family's healing journey.
