If the answer is strictly medication and opiates and stuff like that, it's just you're putting a band-aid over something that's never going to go away, and that's where the addiction comes in and it's inevitable.
PTSD is a tough topic, but in this episode of Relevant Recovery Radio, hosts Heather and Donnie Mosher tackle it head-on with guest Josh Clark from the Birdwell Foundation. As a veteran himself, Josh shares his personal journey through PTSD, shedding light on the often misunderstood condition. He opens up about the challenges he faced and how he found a path to recovery, offering hope to those who might be in a similar situation.
The conversation is candid and compassionate, diving into the complexities of PTSD and the various ways it can affect individuals. Josh emphasizes that while medication can sometimes provide temporary relief, true healing often requires a more holistic approach. This sentiment resonates with Heather and Donnie, who discuss the benefits of abstinence-based recovery programs and the critical role of family support in the healing process.
Listeners will also learn about the collaboration between Birdwell Foundation and Matthews Hope, two organizations dedicated to helping veterans, first responders, and others struggling with PTSD and addiction. Josh talks about meeting Gene Birdwell, the founder of Birdwell Foundation, and how their shared mission has driven impactful work in the community. This episode doesn't shy away from tough topics like the risks associated with substitute opioid clinics and the importance of a comprehensive treatment plan.
It's an inspiring listen for anyone dealing with PTSD or supporting someone who is. If you're looking for a blend of real-life experiences and practical advice, this episode is a must-listen.
