We have to stop calling it substance abuse. We have to stop saying chemical dependency and start using the appropriate language if we want to be recognized as a disorder.
Imagine attending a conference that could change the way you think about addiction. In this episode of 'Recovery Coast to Coast Radio', host Neil Scott sits down with Paula Heller Garland, Immediate Past President of TAAP and a professor at The University of North Texas in Denton. Recorded at the 2015 TAAP Conference on Addiction Studies in San Antonio, their conversation dives deep into the critical issue of breaking down the stigma surrounding addiction.
Paula passionately discusses the importance of using respectful and accurate language when talking about addiction, emphasizing that it's a disorder, not a moral failing. She also sheds light on college recovery programs and how they can create supportive environments for students battling addiction. With mindfulness practices and recovery enhancement strategies, Paula shares valuable tools that can aid in the journey to sobriety.
The episode also highlights the TAAP Conference's role in advancing addiction studies and the significant impact of rehabilitation counseling. One standout moment is Paula's discussion about a grant awarded to The University of North Texas aimed at addressing addiction in Texas, showcasing the proactive steps being taken in the field. As the episode wraps up, Paula underscores the importance of supporting college students in recovery and creating drug and alcohol-free campus housing.
Whether you're directly affected by addiction or simply want to understand it better, this episode offers a wealth of knowledge and empathy.
