I wanted to send shockwaves into the current approach practiced by most rehabilitation systems across the world. I explored the data and success rates within the field and the conclusion was staggering. The fact is most rehabilitation programs combine Mental Health, Su***de Ideation, and Addiction into a one-stop formula that tries to cure each as a whole in juxtaposition to each individually. My question became, “Is this the best we can do and does the success rate support this approach?” The answer was categorical “No”. What was even more shocking was the fact that in 2023 we actually have more su***des and overdoses than at any other time in history. Additionally, those loved ones dying are as young as 10 years old which is not something that has ever occurred. Now that I saw the problem, the more important question became, “What is the solution?”
I admit, my relentless curiosity stems from the pain of losing my sister who battled bipolar and chronic depression since she was 13 to su***de in 2010. I then lost my dad to an opioid overdose in 2015.
