Successful intervention strategies to help a loved one deal with his or her substance use are often counterintuitive.
Ever feel like the usual advice for dealing with a loved one's addiction just doesn't cut it? In this episode of 'Coming Up for Air', hosts Laurie McDougall and Annie Highwater sit down with Richard Jones, the founder of Recovery Cartel. Richard, who is in long-term recovery himself, brings a fresh and compassionate approach to helping families navigate the stormy seas of addiction.
Forget 'tough love' and 'enabling'—Richard throws those terms out the window and focuses on getting families to talk, understand, and work together. He believes that involving the whole family in the recovery process is key to making real progress. Richard's unique perspective challenges the old-school methods that often dominate addiction treatment. He argues that waiting for someone to hit rock bottom can be not just ineffective but downright dangerous.
Instead, he emphasizes the importance of understanding trauma and its impact on addiction. Throughout the episode, Richard shares his experiences and insights, shedding light on how trauma-informed care can lead to more successful outcomes. But that's not all. Richard also touches on broader issues like the influence of drug cartels on substance use and the need for government reforms to support innovative treatment methods.
His approach is not just about addressing the symptoms of addiction but getting to the root causes and finding compassionate, effective solutions. So, if you're tired of the same old advice and want to hear about a more compassionate way to support your loved one, this episode is a must-listen. Richard's innovative strategies offer a beacon of hope for families feeling lost in the chaos of addiction.
