Millions of people have managed and are managing long-term successful sobriety. It's completely unrealistic to think you can arrest your way out of this. The complexity of addiction has exacerbated over the years. We have to constantly evolve our treatment and stay ahead of the curve so we can meet their needs.
Is addiction a health crisis or a criminal justice problem? This is the burning question tackled by Peter Schorr and Ken Kosza, founders of Retreat Premier Addiction Treatment Centers, in this episode of Recovery Radio. They bring to the table a wealth of experience and insights, providing a broad overview of the current state of addiction and treatment.
Peter and Ken passionately argue for a shift in perspective, advocating for addiction to be treated as a health issue rather than a criminal one. They dive into the importance of personalized treatment plans that evolve with the complexities of addiction, ensuring each individual's unique needs are met. The episode also busts some common myths about addiction treatment and offers practical advice on selecting the right treatment facility. Peter and Ken discuss pay-for-performance programs and share strategies for relapse prevention.
They don’t stop there; their outreach efforts extend to veterans and pregnant women struggling with addiction, highlighting the need for specialized support. This episode is packed with valuable information and heartfelt discussions, making it a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction.
