But it's not and it really presents an obstacle for a lot of people. And so, thinking that you, you know you're not supposed to be able to think that you could do something to change in that scenario, you need the higher power, whatever it is, as you were saying before, something outside of yourself.
Imagine a world where addiction treatment doesn't just push for abstinence but instead focuses on building a balanced, fulfilling life. In this thought-provoking episode of Harm Reduction Radio, Kenneth Anderson chats with Steven Slate, the founder of The Clean Slate and a strong advocate for the St. Jude program. Slate sheds light on the limitations of traditional substance abuse programs that often emphasize abstinence as the only path to recovery.
He argues that this narrow focus can be a barrier for many seeking help. Instead, Slate promotes non-residential settings that foster motivation to change and prioritize a holistic approach to life beyond addiction. During their conversation, Slate and Anderson explore the power of Cognitive Behavioral Education (CBE) in transforming irrational beliefs ingrained by conventional treatment methods. This episode offers a refreshing take on addiction recovery, highlighting individual agency and the potential for a richer, more balanced life.
