It's critical to understand that things that will reinforce change in your loved one are unique to them, even though they may not make that much sense to you when it comes to substance use.
Imagine trying to fit everyone into the same mold when it comes to addiction recovery—sounds impossible, right? Brittany Jackson's podcast episode, 'Understanding: One Size Doesn’t Fit All', dives into why a personalized approach is crucial for helping loved ones overcome substance use disorders.
