We emphasize family therapy rather than having a family program... until you get pretty far along, you can generally create a good argument to yourself that no, I don't have a disease.
Imagine a world where addiction recovery isn't just about abstinence but also about self-empowerment. In this episode of Sober Conversations, Dr. Tom Horvath, the mastermind behind Practical Recovery and Smart Recovery, shakes up conventional wisdom on addiction treatment. Broadcasting from sunny San Diego, Dr. Horvath dives into the nuances of his approach, which often contrasts with the traditional 12-step, 'powerless' model. But don't expect a dry lecture; this conversation is lively, engaging, and full of eye-opening perspectives. Dr.
Horvath doesn’t shy away from controversy. He critically examines the pros and cons of the disease model of addiction and lays out his vision for the future of recovery treatment. Ever wondered how family therapy fits into the puzzle of addiction recovery? Or whether harm reduction can be as effective as total abstinence? Dr. Horvath covers these topics with clarity and depth, making complex ideas accessible to everyone. But that's not all.
The discussion also touches on broader issues like the impact of the Affordable Care Act on addiction treatment and the intricate link between addiction and social welfare policies. These insights are not just theoretical; they come from a man who has dedicated his life to helping people navigate their recovery journeys. If you're tired of one-size-fits-all solutions and are curious about alternative paths to recovery, this episode is a must-listen. Dr.
Horvath’s practical and self-empowering methods offer a fresh perspective that could be just what you need to rethink your approach to addiction.
