What if we had a protocol that, instead of playing whack-a-mole with the different symptom presentations, we focused in on the core underlying deficits?
Ever wondered if there's a treatment that can tackle anxiety, depression, and substance use all at once? Meet the Unified Protocol. In this episode of 'The Beyond Addiction Show', Dr. Josh King sits down with Dr. Shannon Sauer-Zavala, a clinical psychologist, to dive into this innovative approach. The Unified Protocol isn't about chasing individual symptoms but addressing the core issues underlying mental health challenges. Dr. Sauer-Zavala breaks down its components, from understanding emotions to changing behaviors and tolerating physical sensations.
She emphasizes how this method personalizes treatment, making it adaptable to each person's unique needs. They also discuss the critical role of building a support network and the power of community in recovery. Dr. King highlights how essential family support is, sharing insights into the CMC Foundation for Change, which helps families navigate addiction together. If you're seeking evidence-based treatments that offer a comprehensive approach to mental health and addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
