Episode notes
Fit, Communication, Family Matter
- Rehab success depends on fit between client and program, not just program quality.
- Communication and family involvement are often lacking, hurting long-term outcomes.
Families Also Need Support
- Families must get their own help alongside the addict's treatment.
- Without addressing family issues, recovery often fails as home environment remains unchanged.
Therapy Needs Real Communication
- Therapists must work with the person present, not just information from others.
- Team communication among therapists, spouses, and clients is vital but often missing, causing conflicting advice.
