Dr. Lisa and I talk with Tony who, along with his son with SUD, and the rest of his family graduated from the Alberta Adolescent Recovery Centre (AARC) Program, and some years later is still a passionate member of the supportive alumni community.
This episode, and the previous ones with graduates/alumni and team members from AARC have served to show me in a sometimes profound and emotional way how compassionately intervening with SUD when people are still young, can have an obvious impact on a family, and an untold impact on literally generations to come.
Granted there is a commitment from the family unlike any other program I am aware of, but as Dr. Lisa has pointed out numerous times, once a loved one is in the throes of addiction, a commitment of some kind is inevitable. AARC is offering families a chance to decide on the nature of what can turn into a lifelong commitment if not addressed in the early stages.www.a2apodcast.com/274
