We're trying to bring our day-to-day lives in line with the deeper values that we have and which we may tend to ignore.
Imagine a world where your path to recovery is tailored to your personal goals, whether that's abstinence, moderation, or harm reduction. In this engaging episode of the LPP Podcast, hosts Dr. Stanton Peele and Zach Rhoads sit down with Dr. Tom Horvath, President of SMART Recovery, to explore the nuanced differences between SMART Recovery and the Life Process Program. Dr.
Horvath sheds light on how SMART Recovery empowers individuals to set their own recovery goals and emphasizes the significance of community support in the journey to overcoming addiction. He also challenges the traditional disease model of addiction, advocating for a more individualized approach that doesn't rely solely on abstinence. The conversation dives deep into practical strategies for coping with cravings, the role of psychotherapy in addiction treatment, and the importance of addressing co-occurring mental health issues like psychotic disorders.
If you're looking for fresh perspectives on addiction recovery that prioritize personal choice and community support, this episode is a must-listen.
