How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? In the 'Gold Sauce Edition' of Recovery Talks, Jim and Andi serve up a mix of humour and insight as they chat about everything from McDonald's limited edition gold sauce to SAMHSA's new strategic priorities. It's a lively discussion that highlights the evolution of fast food experiences and the shifting landscape of recovery services.
The duo dives into the nuances of SAMHSA's priorities, questioning the shift from evidence-based practices to 'gold standard science' and what that means for the future of recovery and mental health support. They also touch on the contentious issues of harm reduction, civil commitment, and the redefinition of sobriety versus recovery. With a sprinkle of nostalgia and a dash of critique, Jim and Andi invite listeners to reflect on the changes in both fast food and recovery paradigms.
