Richard Capriola on the Essentials of Addiction Recovery

Many times, not all the time, but many times, when you do a comprehensive assessment, you may uncover a psychological issue that lies at the foundation to the child using a substance.
What’s the secret to truly understanding addiction and finding the right path to recovery? Richard Capriola dives into this complex issue with a focus on uncovering the root causes of substance use. Often, psychological issues lie at the heart of addiction, and Capriola emphasizes the importance of addressing these underlying problems. He also offers crucial advice for parents: listen to your child's feelings, not just their words, when discussing addiction.
Professional assessments and tailored treatment plans are vital for effective recovery, and psychotherapy and coping skills play a significant role in maintaining sobriety. Capriola doesn't shy away from discussing the cultural issue of incarceration versus effective treatment, advocating for investing in treatments that work rather than punitive measures. If you're navigating the challenges of addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice.
