Ever wondered how to navigate the tricky waters of addiction treatment for a loved one?

They kick off with a light-hearted chat about burritos and clumsy spills, but soon get serious about the pressing issue at hand.
Kevin and Jay stress the importance of doing thorough research rather than relying on flashy Google search results when choosing a treatment facility. They compare it to buying a car – you wouldn’t just pick the first one you see, right? The same goes for treatment centres. Armed with the right questions and perhaps some professional guidance, families can make more informed decisions. They also touch on gender-specific facilities and why these might be beneficial for some individuals.
The conversation takes a heartfelt turn as they discuss the critical role of family involvement in recovery, emphasising that healing is a collective effort. Kevin shares insights from his book, 'Chronic Hope: Families & Addiction', which offers a step-by-step guide for families navigating these tough choices. Jay adds his perspective on the importance of family programmes within treatment centres, lamenting how many have been sidelined post-COVID.
This episode is packed with practical advice and real-world examples that will leave you feeling more prepared and less alone in your journey. If you’re grappling with these decisions, this episode is a must-listen.
