Motivational interviewing is basically helping somebody to achieve where it is that they want to be in their life.
Ever felt overwhelmed by the myriad of addiction treatment options out there? This episode of 'Recovery and Company' might just be the guide you need. Featuring Dan Hight, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and seasoned addiction counselor, this conversation dives deep into the current methods and approaches in addiction treatment. Dan breaks down complex topics like motivational interviewing, a technique that helps individuals tap into their own motivations to overcome addiction.
It's not just about telling someone what to do; it's about guiding them to find their own path to recovery. He also sheds light on harm reduction and medication-assisted treatment, explaining what these terms really mean and how they can be life-saving strategies for many. One of the standout points is the discussion on self-disclosure in counseling. Dan talks about the fine line between sharing enough to build trust and oversharing, which can sometimes backfire.
This balance is crucial for effective therapy. The episode doesn't stop there. It covers the various stages of recovery, the most common types of addictions, and the importance of detox centers with proper medical support. Dan emphasizes the role of psychiatric nurses and peer support specialists in helping clients navigate their recovery journey. For anyone dealing with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a wealth of practical advice and insights.
Tune in to 'Recovery and Company' for a thoughtful, informative discussion that could make a real difference in your understanding of addiction treatment.
