Challenging Pathos- Zach Rhoads

Challenging Pathos- Zach Rhoads

Why do we often overlook evidence when it comes to addiction treatment? Zach Rhoads tackles this question head-on in an eye-opening episode of 'Challenging Pathos'. Alongside his co-author Stanton Peele, Zach challenges the traditional disease model of addiction, advocating for a more practical, common-sense approach. Their book, 'Outgrowing Addiction, With Common Sense Instead of Disease Therapy', delves into why current treatments are often expensive, inaccessible, and ineffective. Instead, they propose a self-led recovery model that emphasizes honesty and accessibility.

Zach's insights push for a shift in how we think about addiction and recovery, aiming to make treatment more practical and less burdensome. This episode is a must-listen for anyone questioning the status quo in addiction treatment or seeking new perspectives on drug policy.
