Ever wondered how organisations have been supporting addiction recovery for decades? In this episode of Clean and Sober Radio, hosts Gary Hendler and Mark Sigmund bring on Louis DeSanto from the Caron Foundation to discuss the foundation's long-standing commitment to helping individuals and families manage substance use disorder. With nearly 70 years of history, the Caron Foundation stands out as a leader in the treatment of this chronic but treatable disease.
Louis shares his personal journey, providing a beacon of hope that recovery is indeed possible. His role at the foundation involves creating partnerships, like the unique designated driver campaign with the Philadelphia 76ers, aiming to spread awareness and support for those in need. The conversation takes a humorous turn when Gary and Mark discuss New Year's resolutions and recent surveys showing a decline in alcohol consumption compared to marijuana use.
The hosts also touch on new health guidelines urging reduced alcohol intake and explore how societal views on substances are shifting. Listeners will find this episode both informative and encouraging, especially with Louis's insights into his recovery journey and the innovative approaches the Caron Foundation employs, like brain mapping technology, to tailor treatments. If you're curious about how personal stories can motivate change or want to learn about effective recovery resources, this episode is a must-listen.
So, what drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? Tune in to find out how strength and support can transform lives.
