In this Livestream, I will talk about a controversial topic among those in the addiction field. 12-Step programs for many years had been the dominant approach to treating addictions. Despite the shift to a more clinical mental health model, the 12-Steps remain an everpresent support option for those with substance use disorders. So, the question many have is whether 12-Step programs have any scientific backing. It's a tough question because it's notoriously difficult to study an anonymous community-based program but I may gave some insights based on some of the latest research that can shed light on this question.
I started the live spilling coffee on my laptop. So it's in the midst of a shift and that shift from looking at twelve step modalities if you want to call it. Not only have been people, people who have they found the calling maybe they shouldn't got sober.
I don't know. I started the live spilling coffee on my laptop. Good start to the morning although it looks like it didn't get in any of the keys so $1,500. There we go. Anyway here I wanted to bring up but yes wanted to talk and this spans my career on this. So I started off working. It was in the midst of a shift. Hey Katie. So it's in the midst of a shift and that shift from looking at twelve step modalities if you want to call it or you know maybe taking because the earliest ones were basically twelve step based you could get into the nitty through like the minute, maybe deeper in some way be psychiatry but all those things working in tandem backlash because it's like okay, you know we are, you know AA's the virtual bringing this type program.
Not only have been people, people who have they found the calling maybe they shouldn't got sober.
