I've been saying ever since The Mid -70s that the bright side of addiction is recovery, and most people don't think of that bright side. They think of the family dysfunction rather than family recovery.
Ever wondered how addiction affects the youngest members of a family? In this episode of 'Recovery Coast to Coast', host Neil Scott sits down with Jerry Moe, the Director of Children's Programs at the Betty Ford Center and Hazelden Foundation. Recorded at the 2015 TAAP Conference on Addiction Studies in San Antonio, Texas, this conversation dives into the crucial role that children's programs play in addiction recovery.
Jerry shares his vast experience working with kids and families impacted by addiction, shedding light on the unique challenges and triumphs they face. He emphasizes the importance of collaboration among various professionals—schools, pediatricians, social workers, and clergy—to create a supportive network for these children. The episode also touches on the often-overlooked struggles of grandparents who step in to raise their grandchildren due to parental addiction.
With heartfelt anecdotes and practical advice, Jerry Moe reminds us that while addiction casts a long shadow, recovery brings hope and healing for the entire family. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, educator, or simply someone interested in the dynamics of addiction recovery, this episode offers valuable insights and a touch of optimism.
