Listen "Non-12 Step Addiction Recovery: Why The Disease Model Fails & Empowerment Works"
Episode Synopsis
Is the 12-Step Disease Model holding you back? In this candid discussion, Elevate Addiction Services breaks down the philosophical and practical differences between traditional AA/NA programs and the modern Empowerment/Choice Model of recovery. Learn why the permanent "addict" label and the concept of "powerlessness" can be a barrier for many—especially the 75% of secular individuals who reject the spiritual requirements.
We discuss the fundamental shift from viewing addiction as a chronic relapsing disease to seeing it as a learned behavior rooted in trauma. Discover why Elevate focuses on self-responsibility, holistic health (mind & body), and skill acquisition to deliver lifelong sobriety.
Don't surrender your power. Learn how to take control of your recovery.
