We need to change the language we use around things like addiction and mental health, because, in my opinion, research has shown that the war on drugs gave us a particular language in the 80s, and it's still carried over.
What happens when faith and science join forces in the world of recovery? In this episode of 'The Sober Truth', George Wood invites Dr. Amanda Sharp to share the story behind the Sober Truth Project. They dive into the origins of the project and what true collaboration looks like in today's recovery landscape. The conversation touches on how language shapes our understanding of addiction and mental health, and the barriers that prevent person-centered care from becoming the norm. Dr.
Sharp's research highlights the social factors that influence recovery and underscores the importance of finding personal meaning in the journey. Together, they discuss how to shift public perceptions of recovery, aiming for a more inclusive and supportive approach. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that blends faith, science, and real-world insights into what it takes to recover and thrive.
