We are still in the dark ages of addiction treatment and actually an analogy I like is that addiction treatment is in the phase that sex education was in in The 1940s And 50s.
Ever feel like addiction treatment is stuck in the past? You're not alone. In this episode of Elevation Recovery, hosts Matt Finch and Chris Scott tackle the pressing issue of why addiction treatment seems to be lagging behind other medical fields. They dive into the alarming relapse rates and the persistent, chronic nature of addiction, making it clear why quitting is easier said than done.
Matt and Chris take you on a global tour, discussing treatment centers in the US, Thailand, China, and Europe. They shine a light on innovative approaches, like nutrient repair at a Swiss clinic, which could be game-changers in the field. But it's not all about geography; they also explore how the internet can be both a boon and a bane in addiction recovery. One standout topic is long-range thinking.
The hosts emphasize how planning for the future is a crucial skill for anyone aiming to achieve lasting sobriety. They also discuss the power of gratitude and the importance of focusing on what you can control. Whether you're in recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a fresh perspective on how to move forward. It's a candid conversation that doesn't shy away from the hard truths but also provides hope and practical advice.
Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of where addiction treatment stands today and where it needs to go.
