Family First: Expert Tips on Navigating Addiction Recovery with Kate Appleman

Many times, I think our society looks at addiction as a moral failing, rather than addiction being a brain disease, and the fact that many of the choices as family members that we make are secondary to addiction being a brain disease.
Imagine the emotional rollercoaster of supporting a loved one through addiction recovery. In this episode of 'My Child & Addiction', Kate Appleman from Caron Treatment Centers shares her wealth of knowledge on how families can best support their loved ones. Kate emphasizes that addiction is a brain disease, not a moral failing, and highlights the importance of family members focusing on their own well-being as well.
She dives into the role of spirituality in recovery, explaining how it can bring peace and balance to various aspects of life, beyond just substance use. Kate also offers practical advice on managing stress and preventing relapse, providing listeners with actionable steps they can take to foster a healthier environment for everyone involved. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking for compassionate, expert guidance on navigating the complexities of addiction recovery within the family.
