Our program really is fundamentally different from the mainstream approaches. We want to help young people make thoughtful decisions about our lives and about our use of alcohol and other drugs.
Imagine a world where teenagers struggling with drug and alcohol issues are met with understanding and support rather than judgment. In this episode of 'Harm Reduction Radio - HAMS', host Kenneth Anderson sits down with Robert Schwebel, Ph.D., the visionary behind The Seven Challenges program. Unlike traditional methods that demand total abstinence, this program takes a different path, focusing on harm reduction and thoughtful decision-making. Dr.
Schwebel breaks down the seven key challenges that form the backbone of the program, guiding teens to recognize the positives and negatives of their substance use, take responsibility for their actions, and make informed choices about their lives. The program also highlights the importance of comprehensive counseling and trauma recovery in the treatment process. Listed by SAMHSA as an evidence-based intervention, The Seven Challenges has shown remarkable success in helping youth improve over time.
If you're curious about innovative approaches to teen substance abuse treatment, this conversation offers valuable insights and a refreshing perspective.
