Recovery does mean abstinence, or at least treatment completion means abstinence. They had mental peace, an acceptance of their past. So when I looked at all the things that were common denominators in these thousands of people who had years plus of sobriety, they had mental peace, physical well-being and they were personally productive.
What does it take to craft an effective recovery plan for substance abuse and mental illness? In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods sits down with Dr. Andrea Grubb Barthwell, a leading figure in the field of addiction treatment. With a rich background that includes advising the U.S. President on drug policy, Dr. Barthwell brings a wealth of knowledge to the table.
She breaks down the significance of evidence-based and empirically-backed treatment methods, stressing the need to tailor treatment intensity to each individual's unique needs. Dr. Barthwell challenges the outdated notion that treatment failure is a necessary step in the recovery process. Instead, she promotes a developmental model that emphasizes trust and safety, enabling patients to reconnect with themselves and pursue lasting recovery.
The conversation also touches on the vital role of self-help communities and the innovative use of art therapy in addiction treatment. Dr. Barthwell offers a nuanced view on recovery, advocating for mental peace, physical well-being, and personal productivity as key indicators of success. She doesn't shy away from the ongoing debate surrounding medication-assisted treatment, highlighting the importance of continuous education and training in the addiction field.
This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone looking to understand the complexities of effective recovery strategies.
