We all, individually, have our own process, separate from the problem of drug use.
Imagine growing up with a mother who is not only a congressional representative but also battling addiction. In this episode of 'Rehab Confidential', hosts Joe Schrank and Amy Dresner sit down with Harry Cunnane, co-author of 'Under our roof'. Harry opens up about his personal journey through addiction and recovery, and how it intertwined with his mother's own struggles. His mother, Madeleine Dean, serves as a congressional representative for Pennsylvania's 4th district, adding another layer of complexity to their story.
Joe and Amy don't shy away from controversial topics. They discuss the Biden Administration's stance on harm reduction, sparking a conversation about the best ways to tackle addiction on a national level. The hosts also humorously debate which religion might be the craziest, bringing a light-hearted touch to an otherwise heavy subject. But it's not all policy and politics. Harry emphasizes the importance of recognizing each person's unique recovery journey, separate from the problem of drug use itself.
The episode dives into the role of peer support and stigma reduction in successful recovery. Parenting while in recovery, children's programs, and evolving drug policies are also explored, making this episode a comprehensive look at the multifaceted issue of addiction. Whether you're personally affected by addiction or simply interested in understanding it better, this episode offers a raw and insightful perspective. With a mix of serious discussion and irreverent humor, Joe and Amy make complex topics accessible and engaging.
