At this point in history, as we've just been discussing harm reduction or the idea of less serious or bad use or less consequential use or preparation, it's not, like you know, flying to the moon.
Ever noticed how streaming shows are shaking up the conversation around substance use? In this episode of the LPP Podcast, Zach Rhoads and Dr. Stanton Peele dive into how modern media is portraying drug and alcohol use, particularly through the lens of harm reduction. Shows like 'Single Drunk Female' and 'Euphoria' are at the forefront of this shift, depicting a variety of substance use patterns among younger generations.
But when it comes to recovery, the 12-step 'sobriety' model still seems to reign supreme. The hosts question why this is and explore the potential for more personalized approaches to recovery. They argue that media should present more authentic and diverse recovery stories, reflecting the real-life complexity of substance use disorders. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about how our screens are influencing public perceptions of addiction and recovery.
