Aftercare is everything, and so having resources, having support, building that rat park up around you after treatment, is what's important.
Ever wondered why traditional addiction treatments often fall short? In this episode of 'The Shrink and The Drunk', hosts Brandon and Derek pull back the curtain on the addiction treatment industry, revealing some uncomfortable truths. They argue that many programs prioritize profit over genuine care, leaving those seeking help feeling frustrated and underserved. But it's not all doom and gloom.
The duo offers a fresh perspective on what truly aids recovery, emphasizing the importance of aftercare, community support, and addressing underlying trauma.
