Charting a Course Through Addiction with Family at the Helm
The Party Wreckers
04/22/24 • 36 min
We want to hear from you! Send us a question or comment.
Embarking on a heartfelt journey through the world of addiction and recovery, Sam arrived in Houston to be inspired by Brené Brown's powerful dialogue on vulnerability and shame. With that energy, we bring you an episode that not only educates but also provides a guiding light for families navigating the intervention process. RuthAnn Rigby and Eric Button, two luminaries in the field, are names you might hear us mention as we recount the vibrant recovery landscape of Houston, and tease potential future dialogues with such esteemed colleagues.
As your guides, we lay bare the misconception that interventions are battlegrounds, and instead, illuminate them as beacons of compassion where families learn to set boundaries and strategies for enduring wellness. Imagine a roadmap that leads beyond the threshold of treatment facilities and stretches into the vast terrain of lifelong recovery. That's the vision we share with you, reinforced by insights and real-life experiences that shape our discussion on how to support not just the individual in treatment but the entire family unit on their collective journey to healing.
Finally, the episode takes a deeper look at the transformation within families as they engage with the intervention process. The atmosphere leading up to intervention day is fraught with anticipation, but we discuss how families can remain unshaken, even when facing the storms of manipulation or debate. We also reflect on the profound influence of Brené Brown's teachings, underscoring the importance of combating shame and embracing authenticity for true healing. Join us for this episode where wisdom, passion, and the pursuit of a shame-free existence converge to empower you and your loved ones on the path to recovery.

The positive response to their clinical services marks a departure from traditional methods, underscoring the importance of authenticity in the healing process.

Tune into this episode of the Party Wreckers podcast, where we promise you'll gain invaluable insights into the multifaceted world of interventionist training. We're giving you an exclusive preview of our upcoming event in Birmingham, Alabama, and sharing practical tips on blending various intervention models to cater to unique family dynamics. Plus, we dive into the importance of social media and personal branding to help you expand your practice. With our own experiences spotlighting the challenges faced by new interventionists, this episode sets the stage for a toolkit full of knowledge and expertise.
We also sit down with Dr. John Dyben from the Hanley Recovery Center to discuss the pivotal intersection of addiction treatment and mental health care. Discover why a solely 12-step immersion program might not be enough and the necessity of integrating professional healthcare providers, especially for complex cases. We underline the ethical obligation of treatment centers to continually improve through research and patient feedback, advocating for a balanced approach that addresses medical, psychological, and spiritual needs. This conversation is a clarion call for a more holistic healing journey.
Lastly, we explore the transformative power of spirituality in recovery. Understand how healthy spirituality can reconnect and celebrate life, whereas unhealthy practices lead to disconnection. The 12 steps are revealed as a powerful method for fostering spiritual health, and we discuss maintaining spiritual fitness and recognizing signs of spiritual unhealthiness. This episode not only offers profound insights into the spiritual aspect of recovery but also provides resources for those seeking further guidance and support. Join us for a rich discussion that promises to enlighten and empower your journey in the field of intervention.
