The banyan tree is one of the most beautiful and iconic trees in the South Florida landscape. With the help of the trees around it, the banyan can thrive for hundreds of years. This tree provides a great metaphor for what the community at the Banyan Treatment Centers looks like. Community and collaboration are the core principles at the Banyan Treatment Centers addiction facilities. Each individual has different struggles and every journey in recovery is unique. The therapeutic methods employed at each addiction treatment center empowers patients to make meaningful changes in their own lives, as well as the lives of those around them. The banyan tree counseling mentality is important because addiction feeds off of isolation and negative relationships. Therefore as a facility, they believe that a strong community has the potential to change lives, by engaging patients and helping them see the value in fostering positive relationships that they can take with them even after treatment concludes.

Addiction can create long-lasting damage to family dynamics if not addressed quickly. A person who is addicted to drugs will not stop to think about or reflect on their actions. The addicted person will not think about choices or the consequences that may come along with them. This unfortunately causes trauma in personal relationships and often leaves families bearing the weight. But how exactly is the family affected? When is it time to seek out drug rehab?

With proper support and services, families can have a positive impact on their loved ones' substance use outcomes. The Partnership to End Addiction, in partnership with ORN and as part of an overall collaborative effort with the National Association of Counties, is launching a learning community complete with monthly meetings, office hours and moderated discussion groups. The program begins this Fall, with the first session covering existing research on the outcomes and obstacles of family involvement in addiction prevention, treatment and recovery. Participants can attend any session and will have access to experts and discussion groups throughout the six-month program.

Stigmatizing language can perpetuate negative stereotypes about people who are affected by substance misuse and can decrease public support for prevention and treatment programs. Conversely, language that supports pro-health activities, even if a person is actively using substances, can help decrease stigma and create a sense of empowerment. In the words of Sheila Vakharia, author of the recently published The Harm Reduction Gap, "Language is so powerful that it can change how we view ourselves and others". Her book will go a long way in educating people on how harm reduction can be a safety net for people abandoned by conventional drug prevention and abstinence-only addiction treatment. #harmreduction #harmreductionsaveslives #overdoseprevention #opioidcrisis

While the statistics are alarming, it’s crucial to recognize that women are often disproportionately affected. They are just as likely as men to develop an addiction to opioids.  Additional challenges like hormonal changes, past trauma, and chronic conditions increase their vulnerability to addiction. There is a dire need to implement specific prevention, treatment, and support programs. Let’s educate ourselves and others about the dangers of opioids and break the stigma around addiction. Reach out to us if you or someone you know is struggling with opioid addiction. . . . . . . #womenandaddiction #opioidcrisis #addictionawareness #supportforwomen #endthestigma #preventionprograms #treatmentoptions #supportisavailable #recoveryjourney #MentalHealthMatters #EmpowerWomen #seekhelp #youarenotalone #breakthestigma #supportsystem #recoveryispossible #endthesilence #TogetherWeCan #cadabams #cadabamsanunitha
