We have a generation of young people who are learning that drugs and certain activities like video gaming and gambling actually have the power to enslave them.
Imagine a world where addiction isn't seen as a lifelong sentence. In this thought-provoking episode of 'The Freedom Model for Addictions', hosts Steve and Mark take a deep dive into the current landscape of addiction education and policies in schools and communities. They tackle the harmful effects of labeling and stigmatization, questioning the effectiveness of traditional 12-step programs. Instead, they advocate for realistic and practical drug education that speaks to the actual needs of individuals struggling with addiction.
By debunking common myths and misinformation, they emphasize that addiction is a temporary issue that can be overcome with the right approach. This episode also introduces listeners to The Freedom Model, a unique perspective that prioritizes personal choice and empowerment over the disease-based models that dominate mainstream recovery methods. Steve and Mark stress the importance of addressing underlying trauma and societal factors as part of a comprehensive solution to addiction.
They leave listeners with a powerful call-to-action: educate yourself and others about the true nature of addiction, and explore the resources offered by The Freedom Model. Whether you're personally affected by addiction or have a loved one who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice for reclaiming control over your life.
