If we integrate that within setting where people have inherent trust, they're able to freely express their faith, that can be more restorative than going to a doctor and sitting with that doctor in the clinic.
Imagine combining the power of spirituality with the pursuit of justice in addiction treatment. That's exactly what Dr. Ayana Jordan, a leading expert newly appointed at NYU, brings to the table in this thought-provoking episode of 'Flourishing After Addiction'. Hosted by Carl Erik Fisher, this episode dives deep into Dr. Jordan's groundbreaking research and personal experiences that have shaped her approach to addiction medicine.
You'll hear about her journey into psychiatry, driven by a passion to serve racial and ethnic minoritized communities, and how she believes spirituality can offer more than traditional medical treatments in the recovery process. The conversation doesn't stop there. Dr. Jordan and Fisher also tackle crucial issues like harm reduction, racial justice, and the social determinants of health—think lack of access to green spaces and healthcare systems. Ever wondered about the role of faith in addiction treatment? Dr.
Jordan sheds light on how community care and group settings can be powerful tools for recovery. This episode is a blend of inspiration, information, and compassion, offering a fresh perspective on how spirituality and justice can intersect to create more effective addiction treatments. Tune in for an eye-opening discussion that challenges conventional wisdom and offers hope for a more inclusive approach to recovery.
