The Reason for this podcast

Video episodes and clips at https://www.youtube.com/@theaddictsadvocate

After completing treatment and aftercare programs, I realized that valuable information and tools for maintaining sobriety were often inaccessible to the public. This podcast seeks to empower those considering seeking help and support individuals in recovery

1. Common risk factors and warning signs

2. Guidance on seeking professional help

3. Practical advice for individuals struggling with these issues, including self-care and recovery strategies

4. Target audience (individuals and families facing substance abuse issues and underlying mental health struggles)

5. Explanation of the connection between substance use and mental health

6. Prevalence of co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health conditions

7. Impact on individuals' lives

8. Treatment options and importance of integrated approaches

9. Explanation of the relationship between substance abuse and mental health

10. How substance abuse can exacerbate mental health conditions and vice versa

11. Resources provided (treatment facilities, support groups, community organizations)

12. Resources for further information and support

You are not alone!
