Kevin Lee on the Realities of Recovery vs. Sobriety

Recovery is about living life on life's terms, and being able to handle whatever comes at you without having to drink or use drugs. Sobriety is simply abstinence from drugs or alcohol. It's a subset of recovery.
Is there a difference between recovery and sobriety? In this episode of 'High Truths on Drugs and Addiction', Dr. Roneet Lev sits down with Kevin Lee, a pioneer in the behavioral health field and founder of Recovery Club America and InHome Recovery. Kevin shares his journey through the behavioral health industry, revealing how his innovative start-ups aim to provide better outcomes for those battling addiction.
He breaks down the nuances between living a life in recovery versus simply achieving sobriety, explaining that while sobriety is about abstaining from substances, recovery is about embracing life's challenges without resorting to drugs or alcohol. Kevin emphasizes the power of community support and the importance of having a 'toolkit' for mental fitness. He also discusses the role of medications in managing addiction and the growing acceptance of telehealth in treatment programs. Together, Dr.
Lev and Kevin tackle listener questions and shed light on overcoming the stigma surrounding addiction. Whether you're personally affected by addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
