Transforming Recovery: Holly Whitaker & Julia Bernstein on Tempest's Online Treatment
“I think one of the things that our system and our healthcare system really fails at is we get so focused on- you know, just one point of it, like body, and we leave out social determinants of what makes us well, and a huge part of what we do is remind people that everything in their life, you know, is what made them drink, and so the whole entire, your whole entire world experience has to be also brought into your recovery.”
Imagine a world where substance use disorder treatment is accessible, personalized, and free from stigma. That's the vision Holly Whitaker and Julia Bernstein had when they founded Tempest, an online treatment program designed to revolutionize how we approach recovery. In this episode of 'The Beyond Addiction Show', Dr. Josh King sits down with Whitaker and Bernstein to discuss the innovative ways Tempest is changing lives.
They dive into the shortcomings of traditional treatment methods, which often feel rigid and isolating, and explain how Tempest offers a more flexible, supportive alternative. With a focus on social determinants and a holistic approach, Tempest empowers individuals to craft their own recovery journey. The episode also touches on the impact of COVID-19, making online programs like Tempest more vital than ever.
If you're curious about new methods for tackling substance use disorders or looking for inspiration on your own path to recovery, this conversation is a must-listen.
