There's a spirituality I can't fully define, but I was. What that happened for years before I got here, like this, is my beef.
In this episode of AllBetter, Joe Van Wie sits down with Dr. Nick Colangelo, a seasoned expert in Substance Use Disorder. Dr. Colangelo's journey in addiction treatment began in 1975 at Runnell's Hospital in New Jersey, and his extensive career has taken him through various roles including Crisis Counselor, Director of Kelly House detox center, and Hospital Administrator. With decades of experience, he brings a wealth of knowledge and unique perspectives to the table.
The conversation delves into the crucial role of spirituality in addiction and recovery. Dr. Colangelo believes that addiction has a spiritual dimension that transcends the material world. He discusses how principles like integrity and willingness can help individuals find joy and excitement in life. The episode also explores the dangers of over-medication and the importance of harm reduction. Dr.
Colangelo emphasizes that harm reduction should not be misused as an excuse to over-medicate, but rather as a tool to assess an individual's readiness to recover. Listeners will find this episode both raw and informative, as it tackles the evolving methods of addiction treatment and the significance of personal principles and risks in overcoming challenges. Whether you're personally affected by addiction or simply curious about the subject, this conversation offers valuable insights and practical advice.
