So the idea is, if we can get them in and give them some ideas, give them some examples and some guys stop very quickly.
When addiction strikes, it often ripples through the entire family, not just the individual. In this compelling episode of 'Inside Addiction,' host Luke Worsfold sits down with Dr Robert Meyers, a seasoned expert with nearly four decades in the field. Dr Meyers shares his personal journey, growing up with a heavy-drinking father, which ultimately inspired him to create the Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) program.
This groundbreaking initiative focuses on holistic family recovery rather than solely targeting the substance user. Dr Meyers delves into the nuts and bolts of CRAFT, explaining how it equips family members with practical tools to communicate effectively with their loved ones, particularly when they are sober. The program also aims to reduce anxiety and depression among family members, emphasizing the crucial role of healthy non-drinkers and recovery coaches in the healing process.
What sets CRAFT apart is its engagement-focused, non-confrontational approach. Dr Meyers highlights how this methodology has been proven effective worldwide, offering a beacon of hope for families grappling with addiction. If you're seeking certified CRAFT therapists or programs, Dr Meyers provides insights on where to find these invaluable resources. This episode is a must-listen for anyone affected by addiction, whether directly or indirectly.
It's not just about understanding the problem; it's about finding actionable solutions that bring families closer together on the road to recovery.
