The problem is not limited to pilots. Nurses take a real beating often with these kinds of programs.
Ever thought about what it’s like to be forced into a recovery program just to keep your job? In this compelling episode of 'Safe Recovery', Monica Richardson invites Larry, a seasoned psychologist and attorney from Cleveland, Ohio, to shed light on the coercion faced by professionals like lawyers and pilots. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has recently mandated that pilots in the HIMS Program must attend AA meetings for their entire careers. But is this really fair or effective?
Larry brings his extensive experience in both psychology and law to discuss the harsh realities and the growing movement to resist such coercion. With a background in managing chronic pain and addressing opiate dependence, Larry offers a unique perspective on how these enforced programs can sometimes do more harm than good. This episode dives into the nitty-gritty of AA-based rehab, revealing how it's not just pilots but also nurses and physicians who are caught in this web.
The conversation highlights the urgent need for alternative healing methods that promote empowerment rather than powerlessness. If you're curious about the fight against forced AA attendance and want to understand its broader implications, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in for an eye-opening discussion that challenges the status quo and advocates for more humane and effective approaches to addiction recovery.
