I'm a big supporter of, like you are, who you hang out with, and if you put yourself around good people, you will become a good person, even if you're not saying that I'm not a piece of shit, but I'm a better piece of shit than I was Four Years Ago.
Imagine living in a place designed to support your journey to sobriety. In this episode of 'Recovery (Sort Of) - The Podcast', hosts Billy and Jason sit down with John to discuss the ins and outs of recovery houses. John, who has firsthand experience living in one, shares his story and sheds light on what makes these houses tick. Are they truly effective in aiding recovery, or do some practices within them actually hold people back?
The conversation dives into the effectiveness of recovery housing, exploring both the beneficial practices and those that might be counterproductive. John talks about how living with people committed to sobriety helped him grow, emphasizing the power of positive influences. But it’s not all rosy; the trio also critiques some of the rules and regulations that might not be as helpful as intended.
One hot topic is whether recovery housing should be integrated into the medical recovery process, complete with oversight and evidence-based practices. This could potentially lead to better insurance coverage and more standardized care. They also touch on the importance of building support networks within these houses to bolster recovery efforts. The episode doesn’t shy away from the challenges either. Issues like freeloaders and rigid house rules are discussed, along with their impact on residents’ recovery journeys.
The hosts and John ponder whether these houses reduce recidivism or if there’s room for improvement in addiction treatment solutions. If you’re curious about what makes a 'good' recovery house and how they can either support or hinder sobriety, this episode is a must-listen. It offers a balanced view, combining personal anecdotes with broader insights, making it both informative and engaging.
