In this podcast, we discuss new ways of thinking and behavior that help with moving the alcoholic/addict toward treatment.
We learn that:
- Family members need to unlearn their conditioned way of reacting to their beloved alcoholic or addict.
- The new way asks the family member to take a softer approach which will disarm the conflict.
- The approach is called CRAFT – Community Reinforcement and Family Training which has seen a high success rate when it’s followed through.
- It’s recommended that attending Al-Anon meetings become part of the process toward intervention and recovery.
