The Power of Choice: Embracing Diverse Recovery Paths

Join Whitney for an open conversation with Patrick McGowan, a person in recovery who believes that the best recovery program is the one that fits you. Patrick shares his journey, his challenges with traditional 12-step programs, and explores alternative recovery pathways. Discover why individualization in recovery matters, the risks of stigmatizing non-traditional methods, and the importance of supporting diverse recovery paths.
