Addiction
and Alcoholism with Chris Schroeder
Few people
are better at explaining the mechanics of the 12 step spiritual recovery process.
Treatment so often consists of clinical processes that have developed over the
years and there is not adequate presentation of the spiritual process that has
been shown to offer lasting recovery. One issue is that many counselors are
not truly experienced with the process themselves so have an ineffective way
of presenting it. Chris talks in a way everyone can understand, and hopefully
be motivated to get their own experience with it and then have that experience
available when it would be appropriate to deliver it to those who need it.
The
Mark Houston Recovery Center is a Texas drug and alcohol recovery center
located outside of Austin that offers a 90-day or more recovery programs for
males designed around the traditional 12-step approach to recovery.
