Reimagining Addiction: Dr. Stanton Peele on The Life Process Program
“To address those problems, we need some kind of cultural shift that we're just not only incapable of producing, but we don't seem to want to produce it, we don't seem to want to focus on that, and so the life process program is a mini version of creating that kind of change in a person's life.”
Imagine an approach to addiction that doesn't just label it as a disease but empowers you to take control of your own recovery. In this episode of 'The Social Exchange', host Zach Rhoads chats with Dr. Stanton Peele, a trailblazer in the addiction field and creator of the Life Process Program (LPP).
