We should respect people's rights to use the substances that they want and not try to force them into changing if they do want to change, then we sort of treat that or approach it like any other life problem that people talk to others about, whether it's relationships or careers or finances.
What if the key to overcoming addiction lies in embracing personal autonomy? In this episode of the OD Movement Podcast, host Nick Kastros sits down with Steven Slate, co-author of The Freedom Model for Addiction, to explore this radical idea. Steven shares his gripping story of battling heroin addiction and how The Freedom Model's unique approach played a pivotal role in his recovery.
Unlike traditional methods, this model empowers individuals by emphasizing their control over their choices and respecting their rights to use substances. The conversation takes an eye-opening turn as they discuss the need for better education on drug effects and challenge the often exaggerated views on drugs. If you're tired of the same old narratives around addiction and are looking for fresh, respectful perspectives, this episode is a must-listen.
It's a candid, thought-provoking dialogue that aims to foster meaningful conversations and shift how we think about addiction and recovery.
