In this enlightening episode of 'Sober on Purpose,' Tanya Gioia welcomes Jane Macky from We The Village to discuss the transformative impact of Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) in supporting loved ones through addiction recovery. Jane, with her expertise in digital marketing, has developed an innovative digital version of the CRAFT program, making it accessible to families outside traditional government channels.
This initiative is particularly beneficial for family members who seek to better support someone struggling with substance use disorder. CRAFT is designed to empower family members, typically those with significant influence in the lives of individuals battling addiction, such as parents and partners. The program equips them with essential skills to aid in their loved one's recovery journey, whether it involves encouraging treatment entry, supporting long-term recovery, or simply improving their own emotional well-being.
Jane emphasizes the importance of emotional awareness and positive reinforcement in relationships, which can significantly contribute to a supportive recovery environment. Jane also highlights the success of CRAFT through clinical trials, where it has outperformed traditional intervention models and support groups like Al-Anon and Ar-Anon in terms of treatment entry rates and reduced substance use. This evidence-based approach validates the effectiveness of CRAFT in fostering healthier family dynamics and improving overall family well-being.
The episode sheds light on the availability of free resources through ongoing clinical trials, particularly for families dealing with opioid use issues, thanks to funding from NIDA. Tanya and Jane stress the importance of normalizing conversations around addiction and mental health, encouraging proactive involvement from families who suspect their loved ones are facing substance-related challenges. Tanya concludes the episode by inviting listeners to subscribe for more content on addiction recovery and personal growth.
She offers support to women ready to embrace their future selves, leaving behind past struggles and opening their hearts to transformative change. This episode is a testament to the power of community and family involvement in healing and recovery.
