“There’s no such thing as drug treatment. What we really need is holistic counselling that incorporates work on the drug issue.” - Robert Schwebel As individuals begin to see that they have addiction issues, they begin to think about change. But to go from contemplating about it to actually taking action is no piece of cake. Dr. Robert Schwebel expands on why people use drugs and why they hesitate on taking that first step towards recovery. He also shares about his Seven Challenges Program, which is used worldwide in motivating individuals to evaluate their lives, consider changes that they want to make, and take steps to implement those changes. But for transformation and recovery to really take place, people need to believe that their life could be better and get in touch with what truly matters to them.
