Uncovering the Truth About Addiction: The Solution to Recovery

01/27/23 • 43 min

In this episode, we will discuss how understanding addiction as a disease can lead to better solutions for recovery. By examining the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) definition of addiction, we will be breaking down the critical components of this definition and how it can help family members and those in recovery lead to healthy change and the ultimate recovery solution!
We will also hear from those in recovery, who will share their personal stories of how the ASAM definition of addiction helped them to understand their disease and find the right path to recovery. Join us for an enlightening conversation on addiction as a disease, not a moral issue.
