Did you know that seventy-five percent of people with substance use disorder who have sustained support recover?
It’s true. And the statistic is important because alcohol is an addictive substance and substance use is the rule, not the exception, in America.
If you’re struggling with moderating your drinking, worrying about how much you drink or are struggling with achieving sobriety, you are not alone. And it’s important to know that recovery is not only possible, but likely.
Individuals who engage in long-term, consistent care have a 75% chance of achieving sustained recovery from addiction.
I asked Dr. Nzinga Harrison, a double-board certified physician in addiction medicine and psychiatry and the author of the book, Un-Addiction: 6 Mind-Changing Conversations That Could Save a Life, to share why addiction is often misunderstood as a moral failing rather than a medical condition. Through our conversation you’ll have a new understanding of what addiction is, why addiction happens and how we can recover from addiction to alcohol or other substances.
