Challenging Traditional Addiction Treatments with Dr. Andrew Ellenhorn
“We believe that many of the treatments for addiction are harmful to people and we believe that programs that really focus on the family as the problem and sort of force families into treatment and have an attitude in which the family needs to be completely changed for the person to get well hurt more than help.”
What if the conventional methods of treating addiction were actually doing more harm than good? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Addiction Today', host Russ Morley sits down with Dr. Andrew Ellenhorn to explore his innovative mobile model of addiction treatment. Dr. Ellenhorn shares his unique approach, which aims to treat severe and persistent mental illness alongside addiction, emphasizing the importance of integrated care.
He argues that many traditional treatments, especially those focusing on altering family dynamics, can be counterproductive and even harmful. The conversation also delves into the addictive behavior of trying to replicate natural highs and the personal motivations that led Dr. Ellenhorn to dedicate his career to this field. If you're curious about alternative methods to addiction treatment and the potential pitfalls of conventional approaches, this episode offers a fresh perspective that's both informative and eye-opening.
