Empowerment, not Powerless, is our slogan.
Ever felt like the traditional recovery paths just don’t cut it? In this eye-opening episode of 'Safe Recovery', the host, Massive, dives deep into some hot-button issues within the addiction recovery industry. The conversation kicks off with a bold question: Are you truly powerless? From there, it’s a whirlwind tour through the dominance of 12-step programs in rehab centers, government ties to AA, and the billion-dollar business of rehab.
Massive doesn’t shy away from controversy, questioning why parents feel compelled to send their kids away for smoking pot and who coined the term 'Gateway Drug'. This episode isn’t just about pointing fingers; it’s about finding better solutions. You’ll hear discussions on alternative healing methods—both spiritual and secular—and the importance of harm reduction and responsible drinking education.
Whether you’re in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just curious about the industry, this episode offers a fresh perspective that might just change how you think about addiction recovery.
