Menachem Poznanski: Building Community and Resilience in Addiction Recovery

And the sense of mission is what drives you forward.
Ever wondered how community support can change the game in addiction recovery? In this episode of 'BrainStorm with Sony Perlman', Sony sits down with Menachem Poznanski, a licensed clinical social worker with a wealth of experience in substance abuse prevention and recovery support. Menachem is the Director of The Living Room (TLR), a unique clubhouse program for Jewish young adults navigating the rocky path of addiction recovery.
With branches in Brooklyn, Monsey, The Five Towns, and even Hollywood, FL, TLR offers a safe haven for those in need. But that's not all Menachem does. He's also the Editor-in-chief of The Light Revealed, a social media platform dedicated to the Jewish recovery community, and the Executive Vice President of Genesis Treatment in Jerusalem, which tackles substance use disorders and trauma head-on.
In this episode, Menachem shares his journey, from his educational roots at Yeshiva University to his latest book 'Acceptance: A Path to Inner Healing'. Sony and Menachem dive into the nitty-gritty of building sustainable recovery programs and the crucial role of community in the healing process. They also tackle the often-overlooked connection between therapy and recovery, shedding light on mental health challenges and co-occurring disorders.
Menachem opens up about his personal battles with burnout and emphasizes the importance of self-care, or as he calls it, 'parenting ourselves'. This episode is packed with practical advice and heartfelt stories that will resonate with anyone touched by addiction or mental health struggles. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Menachem's insights offer a beacon of hope and a roadmap to resilience.
