Reimagining Addiction: Corey and Ryan's Honest Talk on Recovery and Family
“Sending a kid to the room, but instead now we're sending them to jail, yeah, and it doesn't cure anything.”
What if rethinking addiction could start at home? In this episode of the 217 Recovery Podcast, Corey Winfield and Ryan dive into the complex world of addiction, family dynamics, and recovery. They chat about how shifting family structures can play a pivotal role in supporting those battling addiction. Corey and Ryan believe that open conversations are key to helping both kids and adults navigate the tricky waters of substance use disorders (SUD).
As peer coaches, they offer their unique perspectives on the vital role peer support plays in addiction treatment. They emphasize that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work, advocating for a variety of treatment options tailored to individual needs. The episode isn't just heavy talk, though. Corey and Ryan sprinkle in humor as they discuss the challenges of managing emotions in parenting. They share personal stories that highlight their own recovery journeys, making their insights relatable and real.
Whether you're a parent, someone in recovery, or just curious about addiction, this episode offers a refreshing mix of honesty, humor, and practical advice.
