In this powerful episode, I am joined by three amazing guests—Kayla Solomon, licensed clinical social worker, along with Allies in Recovery family members Carolyn and Kenneth. Carolyn and Kenny outline their journey with their son’s addiction, which included a suicide attempt, overdoses, developing an eating disorder, and their discovery of Allies In Recovery. Carolyn and Kenny share how Allies has been a major lifeline for them during their son’s battle and now 14 months of sobriety. Kayla adds in her clinical knowledge and expertise as a group facilitator for family members. All three guests share about the CRAFT method that Allies teaches family members, which stands for Community Reinforcement and Family Training. The CRAFT method is an evidence-based method taught as an eLearning program, along with live, weekly training and support groups. The guests emphasize the importance of community for loved ones of those who struggle with addiction along with how invaluable the toolbox CRAFT teaches loved ones and family members. Kenny and Carolyn discuss how they had to change the way they were relating to their family member, and how critical that has been for their own well-being as well as their relationship with their son.
