Joani Gammill's Road to Sanity: Tackling Opiate Addiction Head-On

Addiction is a disease. With that word relapse, there's a lot of failure that swirls around it, and it's hard because you don't want to tell people to expect that because you don't want them to think it's okay to relapse, but you also want to take the shame out of it. If this happens, just get help faster and get better faster, and that's another one of my passions.
What if the path to overcoming opiate addiction wasn't just about detox and treatment, but a comprehensive journey? In this compelling episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods sits down with Joani Gammill, a renowned interventionist and author of 'Painkillers, Heroin, the Road to Sanity'. Gammill shares her personal battle with addiction, offering candid and sometimes controversial advice that has helped many achieve long-term recovery.
This episode dives deep into why recovery from opiate addiction is often a marathon, not a sprint. Gammill discusses the scientific reasons behind the low recovery rates and emphasizes the importance of ongoing treatment plans. She also tackles the stigma around relapse, urging listeners to seek help quickly to expedite their recovery. From intervention strategies to non-step rehabs and the significant impact of trauma on addiction, this conversation is packed with practical insights.
Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting a loved one, Gammill's wisdom and experience provide a beacon of hope. Tune in for an honest discussion that aims to demystify the complexities of opiate addiction and offers real solutions for lasting recovery.
