Addiction is not a moral failing, it is a disease. We need to change the way we view addiction and remove barriers to treatment.
Ever wondered why addiction is still treated like a crime instead of a disease? In this episode of 'I Took the High Road', Jacob Jansen sits down with interventionist Ed Storti to unpack the '5 Pieces to the Puzzle of Addiction'. Since 1974, addiction has been recognized as a disease, yet our societal response often lags behind.
Storti, with years of experience and research, highlights five critical factors that can signal a higher risk of addiction: a heightened appetite level, an amplified emotional response, a 'kill switch' triggered long ago, an increased need for relief, and genetic predisposition. Through their conversation, they aim to shift perspectives from viewing addiction as a moral failing to understanding it as a complex illness.
They also touch on the role of cognitive behavioral therapy in breaking the cycle of negative thinking and emotional immaturity. If you're curious about what really drives addiction and how we can better address it, this episode offers some eye-opening insights. Tune in for a compassionate and enlightening discussion that could change the way you see addiction and recovery.
