Our team can help you learn to overcome clients' treatment resistance and denial by utilizing a strength-based motivational approach. Another major problem is people going back to using their drugs of choice either while in primary treatment or shortly after discharge.

On today's Food Junkies Podcast Dr. Vera Ingrid Tarman, FCFP, ABAM and I interview John F. Kelly, Ph.D., ABPP. Dr. Kelly is the Elizabeth R. Spallin Professor of Psychiatry in Addiction Medicine at Harvard Medical School. He is the Director of the Recovery Research Institute at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), the Associate Director of the Center for Addiction Medicine at MGH, and the Program Director of the Addiction Recovery Management Service. Dr. Kelly is a former President of the American Psychological Association's (APA) Society of Addiction Psychology, and is a Fellow of the APA and a Diplomate of the American Board of Professional Psychology. He has served as a consultant to U.S. federal agencies and non-federal institutions, as well as foreign governments and the United Nations. Dr. Kelly has published over 200 peer-reviewed articles, chapters, and books in the field of addiction medicine. His work has focused on addiction treatment and the recovery process, mechanisms of behaviour change, and reducing stigma and discrimination among individuals suffering from addiction. There is no one better equipped to answer our questions on addiction treatment and recovery process. He is THE leader in this field. In this Episode: What initially sparked his interest in studying Alcoholics Anonymous and 12-step programs? What were the the key findings of the Cochrane review regarding the efficacy of AA and 12-step approaches? How effective is AA compared to professionally-delivered addiction treatments like cognitive behavioral therapy? Why does AA work for some people but not others? How well does AA work for diverse populations? Are there certain groups for whom it works better or worse? Could these findings be applied to other recovery communities? i.e. Sweet Sobriety, Smart Recovery, LifeRing? What role can AA play within a modern system of clinical addiction treatment and recovery support? His thoughts on harm reduction Why he thinks that sometimes in the addiction field it’s either a harm reduction model OR an abstinence model instead of both offered. The research on average recovery trajectories (ie 4 – 5 years before people decide to stop even though the use is very problematic due to stigma or fear and trying moderation, then 7 or 8 years and multiple treatment interventions before they get one full year of abstinence, then 5 years of continuous remission before they are no longer at an elevated risk versus the normal population) People with addiction ned to be given permission to practice recovery instead of just being expected to just stop immediately  Does he believe in Food Addiction? His thoughts on what our next steps should be to get Food Addiction Recognized Follow John Kelly and the Recovery Research Institute: https://lnkd.in/gnQDi7jW
