Produktbeschreibung
In "From Scars to Stars: Revolutionizing Recovery Through Trauma-Informed Care & Lived Experience," authors Joey and Jodie Pagano delve into the intricate relationship between trauma, addiction, and recovery. Rooted in the cozy setting of "Whispers and Words," a Pittsburgh coffee shop and bookstore, the Paganos share their personal and professional insights as social workers immersed in the battle against Substance Use Disorder (SUD). Seamlessly blending clinical narratives with lived experiences, the book serves as a revolutionary guide for anyone touched by addiction-patients, family, or caregivers. The narrative unfolds sixteen enlightening chapters ranging from exploring the neurological aspects of trauma and addiction to discussing the role of empathy and non-judgmental approaches in treatment. The authors emphasize the significance of trauma-informed care, a method that integrates an understanding of trauma into addiction treatment. Drawing from their clinical expertise and their lived experiences, the Paganos illuminate how these approaches can be combined for more effective treatment. The book also features practical applications and case studies, challenging existing stigmas and conventional wisdom in treatment. For instance, it makes a compelling case for recognizing the value of non-degree workers and peer supporters in recovery based on their lived experiences. The concluding chapters expand the scope from localized treatment to global change, offering a visionary outlook for the future landscape of substance use treatment. "From Scars to Stars" is more than a book; it is a call to action. It invites readers to become part of a transformative journey that shifts from the 'muted anguish of scars to the radiant embrace of stars.' Rich in clinical insights, grounded in real-life stories, and framed within an intimate setting, this book serves as a cornerstone for a new paradigm in addiction treatment. Whether you're a clinician, someone going through recovery, or a family member touched by addiction, the Paganos offer a path forward that is both inspiring and attainable.
