There seems to be a continuum of recovery care...a recovery oriented theory of care approach. It's pretty much agreed upon...in terms of policy, whether it be government or people that are working within the addiction treatment space.
Ever wondered how changing views on addiction are shaping public policy and treatment options? In this episode of Beyond Belief Sobriety, host AA Beyond Belief sits down with Erik Haines, a public health advocate from Canada, to explore these shifts. Erik shares his insights on how evolving attitudes towards addiction are influencing recovery care and support systems. He dives into the role of technology in recovery advocacy and how it’s transforming the landscape of mutual aid groups.
Erik also sheds light on the continuum of recovery care and the recovery-oriented theory of care, which is gaining traction in both policy and treatment circles. The conversation touches on the history of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and its expansion across North America, as well as the growing acceptance of secular AA groups for atheists and agnostics. Erik also discusses the intersection of recovery advocacy with the new atheist movement and the impact of altered states of consciousness on addiction.
For those interested in secular recovery options, Erik provides valuable resources and insights. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the future of addiction recovery and the importance of a comprehensive approach to care. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of how public health perspectives are shaping modern recovery strategies.
