Whether it’s your partner, friend, family member, or colleague, being supportive of someone with ADHD can significantly improve their quality of life.
On this latest episode of the Recovery360 podcast, Certified Interventionist Robert Strauber and Family Support Specialist Ashley Davis from RCA join to talk about all things family. They discuss some of the challenges getting a loved one into treatment.
I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Actor, Musician, and Restaurateur Tony Luke Jr. and RCA’s Chief Medical Officer Dr. Hyong Un to kick off our Recovery360 podcast about treatment and recovery for those living with Substance Use Disorder and their loved ones.
When a loved one is having thoughts of suicide, family members often do not know how to respond. Many people have found success in therapy and/or medication, but there are things individuals can do at home that will make things easier, and you can help with many of them.
Dr. Vernig published this review of the scientific literature surrounding Wegscheider-Cruse’s family roles in the journal Substance Use and Misuse. Wegscheider-Cruse proposed that children in homes where a parent is living with Alcohol Use Disorder adapt to fill pre-defined roles (e.g., The Family Hero, The Enabler, The Mascot, The Lost Child), and despite little evidence, this theory became accepted as accurate and taught to many therapists and other mental health professionals.
