Rethinking Addiction Recovery: A Fresh Perspective with Matt Finch

The one-size-fits-all recovery approach doesn't work. The one-size-fits-all philosophy for people to live life by doesn't work... The amount of criminal charges they're getting is horrendous. It just doesn't make sense to me that everyone has to have it.
Ever felt boxed in by the traditional views on addiction recovery? In this episode of Elevation Recovery, Matt Finch takes a deep dive into Maia Szalavitz's thought-provoking Time article, 'Rethinking What it Means to Recover From Addiction'. Matt challenges the long-standing norms and dogmas that have dominated recovery approaches for nearly a century. He argues that recovery isn't a one-size-fits-all journey and emphasizes the importance of defining it for yourself.
Matt also highlights the pitfalls of conventional rehab centers, which often profit from people's pain without offering personalized solutions. If you're ready to question the status quo and explore more flexible, individualized paths to recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
