I think that the idea of people finding their own way is ultimately the most powerful way to do it.
What if the traditional 12-step program isn't the only way to overcome addiction? In this episode of Safe Recovery, host Monica Richardson sits down with Jeff Foote, a renowned clinical research scientist and director at the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse in New York City. Dr. Foote brings a fresh perspective to substance abuse recovery, focusing on motivational treatment and personalized care instead of the conventional 12-step approach. Dr.
Foote's method centers around motivational treatment, which blends group therapy principles with research-based strategies for human behavior change. With decades of experience and significant federal grant funding backing his work, Dr. Foote is a leading voice in addiction treatment innovation. His approach doesn't just stop at therapy; it also includes pharmacotherapy, advocating for medication-assisted treatment for opioid addiction. He stresses the importance of keeping patients on their necessary medications during treatment to avoid setbacks.
At his non-12 step rehab in upstate New York, Dr. Foote's team offers comprehensive care, including mental health support and practical assistance like cooking and cleaning. He believes in the power of a holistic approach, combining medical support with everyday life skills to aid recovery. One standout feature of Dr. Foote's approach is the Craft method for families. This strategy helps families support their loved ones through addiction, offering training for parents to become effective coaches. Dr.
Foote is passionate about establishing a national self-help network based on this method, providing free resources and training for families in need. Throughout the episode, Dr. Foote emphasizes the importance of empowering individuals to find their unique path to recovery. By offering both spiritual and secular alternative healing methods, he aims to help people build better versions of themselves. His approach is a refreshing departure from traditional programs, focusing on individual empowerment and evidence-based treatment.
If you're looking for a different perspective on addiction recovery, this episode is a must-listen. Dr. Foote's insights could be the key to finding a recovery path that truly works for you.
