Episode 197-Candace Plattor on How Overcoming Addiction is a “Family Affair”-Building My Legacy w/Lois Sonstegard, PHD

Welcome to Episode 197 of Building My Legacy.

Addictions therapist Candace Plattor believes that, to overcome addiction, everyone in the family needs to be involved. All too often, Candace says, an addict completes treatment, and the family has received little or no guidance as to what needs to happen next. Without the proper counseling for the family, a relapse is likely. Candace — herself a recovered opioid addict, now 34 years clean and sober — delivers a message that is vitally important today as so many families are affected by addiction.

So if you want to know:

The difference between helping and enabling somebody
The importance for loved ones to set boundaries with the addicts in their lives
Why you need to act quickly when you suspect that someone is addicted or becoming addicted
When to start talking with your children about the dangers of drug use
