Dr. Katie Witkiewitz, a renowned researcher on alcohol treatment outcomes, and Dr. Jalie Tucker, an expert in behavioral economics, explore the dynamic behavioral ecological model of recovery. They discuss how social networks and environmental factors shape recovery journeys rather than focusing solely on the individual. The fascinating ‘shallow lakes’ analogy illustrates abrupt transitions in recovery. Both emphasize the importance of supportive environments, the need for context-aware precision medicine, and innovative outreach for underserved communities.
