Therefore, we must also accept that alcoholism and various other types of drug addiction are medical disorders that benefit from medical treatment.
Ever wondered what the journey through alcoholism and recovery looks like? Dr. Mark Leeds breaks it down in this episode, using the transtheoretical model (TTM) to guide us through each stage. Starting with pre-contemplation, where change isn't even on the radar, he walks us through contemplation, where the pros and cons of drinking start to weigh heavy. Then comes action, the phase where real steps are taken—think attending meetings or seeking professional help.
Finally, there's maintenance, the ongoing effort to stay sober. Dr. Leeds emphasizes that understanding these stages can be crucial for anyone dealing with alcoholism, whether personally or supporting someone else. But that's not all. Dr. Leeds also dives into the hotly debated topic of whether addiction can ever be 'cured'. While some experts see TTM as a cure, he argues that ongoing treatment is essential for lifelong recovery.
He also touches on the patient versus client terminology debate and how technology can be a game-changer in addiction treatment. With his empathetic approach and wealth of experience, Dr. Leeds offers a comprehensive look at the complexities of alcoholism and recovery. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the path to sobriety.
