Getting families to understand what it's actually going to take their loved one to get well, not just get sober, I think, is a critical part of intervention, and that's why I say it should be a first step, an early step, not the last step, because that family's understanding will completely change the dynamic and hopefully, the conversation around treatment from that point forward.
What does it mean to move from mere sobriety to genuine recovery? In this episode of 'The Buttrfly Effect', host Gail Ferguson Jones sits down with Mike Wilson, president of Baystate Recovery Center and a certified interventionist. Mike, who has penned 'Loving Lions: A Guide for Families Struggling with Addiction', brings his wealth of experience to the table, helping families navigate the complex journey of supporting a loved one through addiction.
Mike and Gail delve into the crucial differences between simply stopping substance use and embarking on a full recovery journey. Mike shares his insights on how interventions can be pivotal in initiating this process, providing families with the tools they need to help their loved ones not just get sober but truly heal. The conversation touches on trauma, identity, and the profound personal growth that comes with recovery.
This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice and heartfelt stories, making it an essential listen for anyone affected by addiction. Mike's approach emphasizes the importance of family support and understanding, offering a fresh perspective on how to foster a nurturing environment for recovery. Gail and Mike's discussion is both enlightening and empowering, shining a light on the transformative power of recovery.
Whether you're dealing with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights into the healing process. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of what it takes to move beyond sobriety and embrace a life of recovery.
