Family Support In Addiction Recovery : Substance Abuse Disorder Tools Beyond Al- Anon

EP 59: She Overdosed 13 Times—Why I Never Gave Up on Harm Reduction


Listen Later

What if the key to saving your child from addiction isn’t forcing rock bottom, but showing more love than ever before—even when they’re still using?

If you're a parent struggling to support a child in active addiction, this episode explores a path that challenges traditional approaches. Rather than relying on tough love or waiting for your loved one to hit rock bottom, you'll discover how harm reduction can be a compassionate, practical strategy to keep them alive and connected long enough to heal.

  • Understand what harm reduction really looks like at home, far beyond just medication.
  • Learn why traditional models of shame and ultimatums often fail—and what actually fosters recovery.
  • Hear a deeply personal story of resilience and love from a mother whose daughter overdosed 13 times and is now in recovery.

Listen now to learn how real, compassionate support can make the difference between survival and despair for families facing addiction.
