What if the biggest myth about addiction recovery is actually keeping people trapped? Could harm minimisation be the key to breaking the cycle for good?

For years, many people—including parents of those struggling with addiction—believe that full abstinence is the only path to recovery. But what if that belief is causing more harm than good? In this episode, we explore how harm minimisation treatments like methadone and buprenorphine provide stability, reduce criminal activity, and give people a real chance at rebuilding their lives.

• Discover why harm minimisation is often the best path to long-term recovery.
• Learn how methadone can reduce chaos and provide a safer alternative to heroin use.
• Understand why recovery isn’t a straight path—and why accepting this can bring peace to families.

Press play now to hear a personal journey of transformation and why rethinking recovery could make all the difference.
