Ever wondered what makes one-on-one therapy so impactful in addiction recovery? In this episode of 'The Elevate Experience', co-hosts Angie Manson and Dallas Terrell sit down with Scott Friend, a seasoned psychologist with a Doctorate in Psychology and years of experience in addiction treatment. Scott, who is also on his own recovery journey, shares his invaluable insights into the world of individual counseling and the unique approach of Elevate Addiction Services.
Scott dives into the nitty-gritty of why one-on-one counseling is so crucial.

Scott sheds light on Elevate's distinctive methods and philosophies, emphasizing a more holistic and personalized approach.
Another fascinating aspect discussed is the role of the medical model in addiction treatment. Scott talks about how this model makes a client's recovery even more critical to the counselor, highlighting the importance of both cognitive and mental stabilization. He also touches on the challenges posed by COVID-19, especially in aftercare, and how Elevate has adapted to these unprecedented times. But it's not just about the technicalities.
Scott's personal journey through recovery adds a layer of authenticity and relatability to the conversation. He talks about the mutual responsibility in the healing process, both for the counselor and the client. This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice, personal stories, and professional insights that anyone interested in addiction recovery will find immensely valuable.
So, if you're curious about how one-on-one therapy can make a difference or want to understand what makes Elevate's approach so unique, this episode is a must-listen.
