Breaking Down Barriers: Dr. Scott Kellogg on Transforming Addiction Treatment

Recovery, whether it is from substance abuse or a mental illness, or both requires a treatment plan, which in many cases is as effective as treatments for other chronic illnesses.
Imagine navigating the maze of addiction treatment and finding a path that truly resonates. In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods welcomes Dr. Scott Kellogg, a Clinical Assistant Professor at NYU and a pioneer in the field of psychotherapy. Dr. Kellogg brings his rich background in schema therapy and gestalt therapy to the table, offering fresh perspectives on the crisis in addiction treatment and innovative ways to foster change.
They dive into the nuts and bolts of effective treatment plans, discussing how reinforcement systems and contingency management can play pivotal roles in recovery. But it doesn't stop there. The conversation also explores empirically based treatment programs and the four pillars approach, a harm reduction policy that's making waves globally. Dr. Kellogg emphasizes the importance of building strong therapeutic alliances, especially in community-based settings where support is crucial.
The episode also sheds light on the symbolic meanings behind substance use, urging listeners to look beyond the surface and understand the deeper issues at play. Whether you're grappling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice that could make all the difference.
