TedX Talk – Our Relationship to Addiction

Freedom Model Co-Author, Steven Slate, was asked to speak at a TedX Event in Tahoe City, CA on the theme: Relationships:  Steven did a masterful job explaining how addiction is truly a relationship between the individual and the substance(s) and when looking at it as such, you begin to realize why it can be hard to change your perspective and your behaviors as you’re splitting up from that relationship. Steven explains how the “playground effect” has an impact on not only how we perceive substance use but also on the type of help we provide for those struggling with substance use issues in this must watch TedX talk.

The Freedom Model takes a revolutionary approach to substance use that dispels the fear-based myths of “addiction” to truly free substance users from “addiction”, “relapse”, and “recovery”. The Freedom Model addresses how beliefs shape substance use behavior, expectations, and outcomes. For the first time, there is a completely self-directed, self-correcting permanent solution to addiction that holds no person slave to a particular program, belief, or outcome. At a time when only 1 in 10 people get treatment for addiction, how is it possible the 90% who don’t get treatment overwhelmingly do better and end their addiction while 67% of those who do get treatment get worse?
