Navigating Cannabis Use: Strategies for Families in Addiction Recovery
“It's about us looking at what our role is in this dynamic, so that you're stepping back, you're watching and you're doing behaviors that actually support the reduction of the use and do not encourage the using of it, but not in a very direct way.”
Ever wondered if it's time to address your loved one's cannabis use after they've tackled more dangerous substances? This episode of 'Coming Up for Air' dives into this very dilemma. Hosts Dominique Simone Levine, Laurie McDougall, and Kayla Solomon unpack the concept of harm reduction and how the CRAFT method's functional analysis can guide families through these tough decisions.
They emphasize the importance of reviewing changes, patterns, and dynamics within the family to ensure that behaviors support the reduction of substance use. The hosts recommend a one-at-a-time approach to tackling multiple substances, focusing on understanding which behaviors to reward and which to walk away from. With resources on cannabis withdrawal and tolerance, this episode offers practical advice on navigating the complexities of addiction recovery.
Tune in to learn how subtle actions can make a big difference in supporting your loved one's journey.
