Recovery exists on a continuum, on a spectrum. It still is met with a good deal of resistance now to carry that to its logical conclusion.
Imagine a world where recovery and drug legalization aren't at odds. In this episode of Harm Reduction Radio - HAMS, host Kenneth Anderson sits down with Adam Sledd, a writer for The Fix and a blogger, to explore this very idea. They kick things off by debunking the myth that legalizing or decriminalizing marijuana would lead to rampant access. Instead, they argue that recovery and legalization can coexist in a way that benefits those struggling with addiction.
Anderson and Sledd dive into the harm reduction approach, emphasizing that recovery isn't a one-size-fits-all journey. Abstinence is just one path among many on the spectrum of recovery methods. They critique traditional recovery programs for their limitations and champion a client-centered approach that respects individual needs. The conversation also highlights the importance of fellowship and learning from various voices in the addiction recovery field.
By the end of the episode, you'll have a nuanced understanding of how harm reduction and drug legalization can work together to support recovery. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in innovative approaches to addiction treatment.
