I think language is incredibly important in this culture to talk about these issues in a way that's welcoming and non-stigmatizing.
Ever wondered if there’s a more compassionate way to tackle addiction? In this episode of Safe Recovery, Monica Richardson chats with Jeff Foote, PhD, Co-Founder and Executive Director of the Center for Motivation & Change in New York City. With over 25 years of experience, Dr. Foote shares his journey in reshaping addiction treatment through science and empathy. Dr.
Foote dives into the limitations of traditional methods and emphasizes the importance of using kind, supportive language when helping those struggling with substance use. He also introduces listeners to his book, 'Beyond Addiction', co-authored with two other psychologists, which serves as a practical guide for families navigating the complex world of addiction treatment. Throughout the conversation, Dr. Foote highlights the significance of individualized treatment plans and the critical role parents can play in supporting their loved ones.
His evidence-based approach, known as CRAFT (Community Reinforcement and Family Training), offers practical skills like self-care and positive reinforcement to help families stay connected in a constructive way. Whether you’re a parent, friend, or someone on your own recovery journey, this episode offers valuable insights into creating a more humane and effective path to overcoming addiction. Tune in for an enlightening discussion that might just change the way you think about addiction treatment.
