Dr John Dyben: Integrating Professional Healthcare in Addiction Treatment
We want to hear from you! Send us a question or comment.
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.

Transforming the Holiday Season: Prioritizing Recovery and Renewal Over Tradition
We want to hear from you! Send us a question or comment.
Can the holiday season be a catalyst for change? Discover a perspective that challenges the conventional wisdom of delaying recovery efforts for loved ones struggling with addiction. This episode sheds light on the misconception that suicide rates skyrocket during the holidays—while depression does increase, suicides do not. You'll learn why prioritizing recovery over traditional holiday gatherings could be the gift that keeps on giving, turning this festive time into an opportunity for positive transformation. We invite you to explore the emotional and psychological benefits that can far outweigh the temporary loss of family moments.
As families face the daunting decision of choosing health over holiday traditions, overcoming fear and codependency becomes essential. We talk about the delicate balance needed to support a loved one's journey to sobriety. Therapists, often more equipped with specialized training than physicians, offer a viable route for families seeking help. You'll gain insights into the systemic barriers doctors face, such as the lack of institutional support despite addiction being a recognized medical disease.
As 2024 approaches, we emphasize the urgency of seeking timely intervention amidst a critical shortage of treatment options. With 49 million Americans meeting criteria for a substance use disorder diagnosis and only 13 million receiving help, timely action is crucial. We explore the unmet promises of state-funded programs like Oregon's Medicaid system, urging families to act now. Let this holiday season be a time of renewal and potential, setting the stage for a brighter 2025. Thank you for your continued support—your ratings and reviews help us spread this vital message far and wide.
