I just believe that if you're hooked on something, whether it be alcohol or other drugs, you can and you can not use and stay sober without anything.
Ever wondered what really goes on inside US rehab centers? Suzanne Thistle, a licensed alcohol and drug counselor with over 15 years of experience, pulls back the curtain in this episode of 'Steps to Sobriety'. Host Stephan Neff sits down with Suzanne to discuss her book, *Chem-Free Sobriety*, which features 101 stories from individuals with 1 to 49 years of sobriety. These firsthand accounts answer pressing questions about addiction, recovery, and the role of medication-assisted treatment.
Suzanne's own journey is equally compelling; she's been in long-term recovery for 33 years, overcoming a traumatic childhood and emotional pain. Through her work in suboxone clinics and treatment centers in New Hampshire, she has gained invaluable insights into the importance of aftercare and addressing mental health issues like PTSD, depression, and anxiety. This episode offers a raw and honest look at the complexities of addiction recovery and the different paths to sobriety.
It's a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the nuances of rehab and the power of community support.
