Mastering Opioid Recovery with Lessons from 'The Art of War'

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.
Imagine using ancient military strategy to overcome modern addiction. In this intriguing episode of Elevation Recovery, Matt Finch brings a fresh perspective to opioid recovery by drawing from Sun Tzu's classic, 'The Art of War'. Matt dives into the importance of knowing both your strengths and weaknesses, much like a general would before heading into battle. He shares his own experiences as a counselor at a methadone clinic, revealing how he tailored his approach to meet each individual's needs.
One of the biggest hurdles in opioid recovery is the post-acute withdrawal phase. Many traditional programs overlook this crucial period, but Matt emphasizes the need for a personalized, holistic treatment plan that goes beyond just getting through the initial withdrawal. He offers practical tips for increasing self-awareness, such as taking the Myers-Briggs personality test and keeping a journal. Whether you're battling addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights and actionable strategies.
By applying the timeless wisdom of 'The Art of War', you'll be better equipped to navigate the complexities of opioid recovery and emerge victorious.
