Addiction - My Evolving Perspective and Story

Today:

Thank you for joining me today on the Podcast. In today's episode, I share my understanding of addiction and how that understanding has evolved. In the first part of my career as a clinician, I conceptualized addiction as something to be understood, measured, and then mitigated via care planning. Since, I have come to understand that addiction in every respect lacks logic, and thus, approaching the issue deductively rarely works. Instead, we must approach the issue with openness, compassion, and a clear understanding that readiness is the key. Moreover, it is important to view abstinence as the one option on the continuum that will actually save that individual's life.
