In smart recovery we're focused on learning how to cope with craving, for instance, how to change dysfunctional thoughts, how to live a balanced life and, with courageous and persistent effort, learn to live in a different way so that addiction fades into the background.
Imagine a world where addiction treatment is as flexible and personalized as the individuals seeking help. In this episode of 'Harm Reduction Radio - HAMS', host Kenneth Anderson sits down with Tom Horvath, president of SMART Recovery and author of 'Sex, Drugs, Gambling & Chocolate: A Workbook for Overcoming Addictions'. While Helga Matsko couldn't join due to hurricane-related issues, Tom steps in to share his wealth of knowledge on evidence-based approaches to addiction treatment.
Tom dives into the SMART Recovery approach, emphasizing courage and the ability to cope with cravings and change dysfunctional thoughts. He breaks down the four guiding principles of the program and highlights the flexibility of its online and live meeting options, making it accessible to a wide range of people. Listeners will also get a peek into Tom's for-profit venture, Practical Recovery, which offers a comprehensive suite of services including office-based treatments, a residential facility, and sober living homes.
The conversation covers stages of change modeling and mindfulness, offering a holistic view of addiction recovery. This episode is a treasure trove for anyone looking to understand modern, evidence-based methods for tackling substance abuse. With practical insights and real-world applications, Tom Horvath's expertise provides a roadmap for those on the journey to recovery.
