Peter Schorr Talks Addiction Treatment and New Services at Retreat

There's not a lot of follow through. So I don't see any benefit from it other than making dollars for a state. And eventually people talk about the different highs that the different drugs give you and curiosity's killed the cat.
What does it take to truly understand addiction and provide effective treatment? In this episode of Recovery Radio, Peter Schorr, founder and CEO of Retreat, joins Maggie Hunt, Director of Alumni Services, for an enlightening discussion. Peter offers a broad perspective on society's ongoing battle with addiction and reveals some exciting updates about Retreat's expanded treatment services. The conversation covers the critical need to recognize addiction as a disease, dismantling the myths that surround it.
Peter also delves into the complexities of dual diagnosis, where mental health issues intersect with addiction, and explains the assessment and intake process that helps tailor treatment to individual needs. For families grappling with a loved one's addiction, Peter and Maggie share practical advice on how best to offer support. They also discuss strategies for engaging with young people who are struggling, emphasizing the importance of early intervention.
This episode is packed with valuable insights for anyone touched by addiction, whether personally or through a loved one.
