In recovery you can't walk miles into the forest and expect to walk one mile back out.
What if the key to helping a loved one through addiction lies in understanding and support? In this episode of 'Addiction and the Family', Dustin Williams, CEO of Dabc's recovery service, opens up about his own journey with addiction and how it shaped his career as an interventionist. Dustin shares heartfelt stories of working with families to get their loved ones into treatment and the crucial steps that follow.
He emphasizes the importance of rebuilding relationships and setting clear boundaries to foster a healthy recovery environment for everyone involved. One standout moment is Dustin's advice on Al-Anon meetings, where he encourages family members to listen and learn from others' experiences. This, he believes, is vital for understanding how to support someone struggling with addiction without losing oneself in the process.
Dustin also sheds light on the intervention process, explaining that it's not just about getting someone into treatment but guiding them through it and providing ongoing support afterward. He addresses the often-overlooked role of money in addiction treatment, urging families to focus on genuine help rather than financial incentives. This episode is packed with practical advice and hopeful insights, making it a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction.
