Transforming Recovery: The Open Dialogue Approach

Without knowing precisely the meaning or even the cause of psychosis, there's a stance that these experiences are meaningful.
What if recovery from substance abuse and mental illness could be a collaborative conversation? In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods welcomes Mary Olson, Ph.D., LICSW, and Jaakko Saikola to discuss the transformative Open Dialogue Approach. This method focuses on open communication and involving everyone in the treatment process, from family members to healthcare providers.
By holding treatment meetings that foster a shared understanding, the Open Dialogue Approach emphasizes the power of language and personal responsibility in recovery. Unlike traditional methods, this approach has shown promising results, particularly for those dealing with co-occurring disorders. It's not just about treating symptoms; it's about creating a supportive network that encourages lasting change. Tune in to hear how this innovative approach is making waves in the field of addiction and mental health treatment.
