We need to adjust, you know, and for anyone who looks at addiction and alcoholism from like a disease model perspective, if somebody was being treated for cancer and one protocol treatment protocol didn't work, the doctors wouldn't say: well, sorry, we're not going to treat you because that treatment protocol didn't work.
Ever wondered how sharing personal stories can change lives? In this episode of 'Knockin' Doorz Down', host Jason LaChance chats with Erin Khar, a journalist, author, and advocate for addiction recovery. Erin’s memoir, 'Strung Out: One Last Hit & Other Lies That Nearly Killed Me', has received acclaim for its raw honesty and insight into the struggles of addiction.
Together, Jason and Erin dive into harm reduction strategies, the importance of government support in fighting overdose deaths, and the power of personal narratives in breaking the stigma around addiction. They also discuss Erin's involvement with the Race to be Drug-Free campaign, which aims to keep kids off the streets through after-school athletic programs. Throughout the conversation, Erin emphasizes the need for varied treatment options and the significance of being truthful with oneself and others.
