The mere fact that folks are coming back, whether the individual or families are coming back, that's tremendous.
Imagine facing the uphill battle of addiction recovery without the support of your family. In this episode of 'Airing Addiction', hosts Lisa Blanchard and Jesse Chaison sit down with Family Engagement Specialist Ronald Burgess from Spectrum Health Systems to explore just how crucial family involvement can be in the recovery process. Ronald sheds light on why engaging with family isn't just helpful—it's often a game-changer.
From educating families to offering emotional support, he discusses how these elements can make a world of difference for someone in recovery. He also delves into the practical aspects, like assessing whether a family is suitable for providing support and the benefits of family therapy. The conversation doesn't shy away from the tough stuff either; Ronald talks about the challenges families face, the stigma surrounding addiction, and the importance of confidentiality and safety in treatment.
By the end of the episode, you'll have a deeper understanding of how family dynamics can influence recovery and why public education on addiction is so vital. Tune in to hear Ronald's insights and find out how family engagement can truly transform the journey to sobriety.
