Redefining Success in Addiction Treatment: Insights and Challenges

Relapse is a part of recovery? It doesn't have to be, and I think the more we say it like that, like it's a part of recovery, it makes people that are new think: oh well, it's okay, yeah, and I don't think there should be any shame in relapse, but I don't think we should encourage it.
What does success in addiction treatment really look like? In this episode of the Landmark Recovery Podcast, host Zach Crouch sits down with Michael Walsh to tackle this tough question. They dive into the complexities of defining success in addiction treatment, from the role of relapse to the amount of time someone stays sober. It's not as black and white as you might think. You'll hear about the different approaches to treatment and how these vary for different age groups.
They also highlight the critical importance of experienced leadership and dedicated teams at treatment centers. But it doesn't stop there. Measuring success rates is a murky business, filled with gray areas and nuanced outcomes. The conversation extends to the essential role of aftercare programs and family involvement in supporting long-term recovery. If you're looking for practical advice on seeking help for addiction, this episode has got you covered.
Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting a loved one, this discussion offers valuable insights into the multifaceted journey of addiction treatment.
