Survival, stabilization, AND flourishing

A great tweet from Brandon Bergman:

There are multiple targets for people with SUD. One – survival. Two – stabilization (job, housing, health). Three – flourishing (living to one's "potential" given all these resources). Field is having 3 conversations at the same time. We can do all – we need to do all. https://t.co/Ue1jMItMWH

I have been an addiction professional and social worker since 1994. I started blogging in 2005 as the Clinical Director at Dawn Farm. I no longer work at Dawn Farm and am now the Director of Behavioral Medicine at a community hospital, and a lecturer at Eastern Michigan University’s School of Social Work. Views expressed here are my own. Keep in mind that the field, the contexts in which the field operates, and my views have changed over time. View all posts by Jason Schwartz
