To come to the realization that there are alternatives for treating addiction beyond the steps, beyond abstinence takes an effort of will to go beyond what everybody else is hearing and what everybody else is doing.
How can we rethink addiction treatment to make it more effective and compassionate? In this episode of 'Harm Reduction Radio - HAMS', host Kenneth Anderson brings together two experts who are reshaping the landscape of substance abuse treatment. Dr. Henry Steinberger, a former board member of SMART Recovery, delves into how Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be a game-changer for those battling addiction.
He breaks down the principles of SMART Recovery, highlighting its practical, evidence-based approach to helping individuals regain control over their lives. Next, Reverend Raquel Algarin, executive director of the Lower East Side Harm Reduction Center in Manhattan, sheds light on the multifaceted services her facility offers. From needle exchange programs to overdose prevention and Narcan training, Rev.
Algarin emphasizes that harm reduction is about much more than just clean needles—it's about providing a spectrum of support that meets people where they are. The episode wraps up with 'Stanton's Corner', where Dr. Stanton Peele shares his thoughts on current addiction issues, adding another layer of depth to the discussion. Whether you're directly affected by substance abuse or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice on modern, humane approaches to recovery.
Tune in to learn about motivational interviewing, coping strategies for loved ones, and alternatives to traditional treatment methods that could make all the difference.
