23: Family Recovery with Pam Feinberg-Rivkin
“The family is core for everything.”-Pam Feinberg-Rivkin
Being a nurse by profession and having to serve in many areas of the medical field such as dialysis, homecare and case management, Pam Feinberg is an eyewitness of how addiction is gradually injected from vials of trauma and drug prescriptions to people of varying age and backgrounds. Her own experience with a family member who battled with addiction fuelled up her desire to help others through an approach that is deviant from the common rehabilitation method.
In this episode, we also learn that true healing comes from a much broader and deeper sense. Here, Pam talks about factors leading to drug abuse and alcohol addiction as well as the significant role that each family member has on the period of and surrounding period of the recovery. This is not just a common story of journey to sobriety but also a reality of how “addiction in the family can be turned into an opportunity for the whole family to change.”
