Dr. Branden Henry's story is included in Christina Dent's new book, Curious: A Foster Mom's Discovery of an Unexpected Solution to Drugs and Addiction.
He joins us on the podcast today to unpack ideas that didn't make it into the book, including why so much addiction treatment is unhelpful. It fails to address three drivers of addiction that we dive into on today's episode.
Dr. Henry also shares his perspective as a Christian who has wrestled with a biblical view of addiction and how we can better understand and support people who are struggling as well as the people who love them. His clear, vulnerable, and honest perspective will give you hope.
