Remember, it's never okay to give up, always find ways to adapt the treatment plan
Imagine facing the dual challenge of addiction recovery and a traumatic brain injury (TBI). In this episode of The Recovery Pastor Podcast, Shan welcomes Pat Motley, a social worker and certified brain injury specialist, to discuss how TBI impacts the recovery process. Pat outlines a specialized treatment plan for TBI survivors, featuring six crucial components tailored to their unique needs.
These steps are adapted from the traditional AA 12 steps but are broken down into more manageable tasks to suit TBI survivors. Pat sheds light on the importance of individualized treatment, noting that each survivor's journey is distinct. Strategies to assist those with language deficits and negative behaviors are also discussed, providing practical advice for families and caregivers.
One of the biggest hurdles in treating TBI survivors is the lack of awareness among families and communities about the presence of a brain injury, which can delay access to essential resources. Throughout the episode, the emphasis is on persistence and adaptability. Pat’s insights serve as a guide for anyone looking to support TBI survivors on their path to recovery.
This episode is a treasure trove of valuable information and actionable tips, making it a must-listen for those affected by TBI and addiction.
