Removing the stigma and increasing transparency around relapse helps bolster long-term recovery and can save lives. In this special recording with a live audience of clients and staff at All Points North Lodge, Lana talks with Lead Therapist, Dustin Straight, LAC, about why relapse happens, relapse behaviors and warning signs, and how we can remove ego and shame to uncover the lessons within cravings and relapse. They also discuss the disease model of addiction, the differences between process addiction and substance use relapse, reclaiming the holidays in recovery, and how to create functional rituals in sobriety. After the show, they host a Q+A with APN clients.
