From The Episode: Beyond Willpower: The Role of Medication in Alcohol Recovery

Recovery is not a one-size-fits-all process. It requires a multifaceted approach that honors the individual's unique path. Our conversation with Jonathan Hunt Glassman, founder of ORR, highlighted the transformative potential of medically assisted treatment, specifically naltrexone, in redefining one's relationship with alcohol. This medication, by diminishing the craving and pleasure associated with drinking, can be a critical component of a broader recovery strategy.

Recovery flourishes in the presence of support, be it through therapy, support groups, or innovative services like EverBlume, which I founded to offer personalized recovery coaching and peer support. It's about creating a space where individuals can share, learn, and grow together, breaking the isolation that often accompanies addiction.
