Individuals in early recovery often feel as though they carry a “scarlet letter” of addiction, fearing that everyone can see and judge their past. This stigma is rooted in guilt and shame, and ultimately, it can deter people from becoming involved in the recovery community. In this episode, Hank Holmes, an experiential counselor at the Oxford Treatment Center, joins the podcast to discuss the active and ongoing process of recovery and delve into the stigma surrounding addiction. He shares what treatment is like for an addict, from the detoxification process to the life skills people are equipped with.
