I do think that when it comes to addiction, we have it completely wrong. So if the system is producing a certain outcome, it's designed to produce that outcome, even if it's not the outcome you want somewhere in the system, the code is corrupted, the code is not doing what you want it to do, but it's producing this, which means that the system is designed to do what exactly it's doing.
In this episode, Christian Powell takes a deep dive into the past year of the Lifeboat Addiction Recovery Cast and looks ahead to what's on the horizon. Christian doesn't hold back as he critiques the current addiction treatment system, pointing out its limitations and the unintended outcomes it often produces.
He highlights how the Western medical model falls short in addressing the complex nature of addiction, advocating instead for harm reduction and personalized treatment plans.Christian also emphasizes the crucial role of community support in the recovery journey. He argues that having someone with expertise walk alongside those in recovery can make all the difference. The episode also tackles the societal stigmatization of addiction, urging listeners to rethink their perceptions and understand the multifaceted struggles involved.
If you're looking for a fresh perspective on addiction and recovery, this episode offers a thought-provoking discussion that challenges conventional wisdom and inspires change.
