I know it can be very discouraging if you want to see the person that you love be completely abstinent from drugs and alcohol, and maybe recognizing the effort and the progress that they're making rather than striving for a very specific, defined outcome, could be a way that you could be a contributor to their recovery capital.
Feeling lost in the maze of what 'recovery' means for your teen or young adult? Brenda Zane, host of 'Hopestream', tackles this confusing topic head-on. With September being National Recovery Month, Brenda dives deep into what recovery really means, especially from a parent's perspective. Drawing on her own experience as a CRAFT Parent Coach and mother of a son who nearly lost his life to addiction, she brings a personal touch to the discussion.
In this episode, you'll hear about the Recovery Research Institute's definition of recovery and how it might differ from what you or your child think. Brenda also explores common recovery scenarios that many teens and young adults face, shedding light on the diverse paths to sobriety. Harm reduction is another key focus, providing a broader view of recovery beyond traditional clinical treatments.
What's refreshing is Brenda's emphasis on 'recovery capital' – the resources and strengths that help individuals stay on the path to recovery. She even offers a recovery capital scale and worksheet for those eager to delve deeper into this concept. If you've ever felt confused about what recovery should look like for your child, this episode is a must-listen. Brenda's practical advice and empathetic approach make complex ideas accessible, helping parents recognize progress and effort in their child's journey.
Whether you're new to the concept of recovery or looking for fresh insights, this episode offers valuable perspectives to support your loved one effectively.
