Recovery from Addiction is Possible
Channel: Castle Craig
Date: 11/04/2012

Castle Craig Hospital has been successfully treating addiction as an illness for over 30 years, with a well defined treatment programme combining 12 Steps, CBT, medical treatment and specialised addiction therapies. 
 
In this video Glynis Read, a senior therapist at Castle Craig rehab clinic, talks about addiction from different perspectives: emotional development, the importance of empathy and the "deep sense of peace" that people in recovery experience.
 
"Arrested development" is a typical result of addiction - in other words the addict has stopped growing emotionally while under the influence of drugs. 

"So the recovery process is about developing emotionally," explains Glynis, "people start to mature once they get into recovery [...] 

"I've seen hundreds of people go through the treatment process, get well and have lives with meaning and value."
