Program Transcript
FEMALE SPEAKER: I know it’s here somewhere. I was just looking at it. Ah.
Here it is. Tiffany says that over the last several years she’s used crack, meth,
oxy, marijuana. Here. The list goes on.
FEMALE SPEAKER: Well, is she attending NA yet?
FEMALE SPEAKER: I’ve been hesitant to have her do that.
FEMALE SPEAKER: Why?
FEMALE SPEAKER: Well, she already has her hands full. Three rests in two
years, emotional and physical abuse growing up, and she still isn’t free of her
pimp. It’s just a lot to ask of her to also start going to NA, especially since we
really don’t know how effective those 12-step programs really are.
FEMALE SPEAKER: What do you mean?
FEMALE SPEAKER: I don’t know if I’ve seen any research to support it. Have
you?
FEMALE SPEAKER: You have to be kidding. 12-step programs are the gold
standard.
FEMALE SPEAKER: But the research–
FEMALE SPEAKER: Look at the drugs she’s been abusing. You’re telling me this
doesn’t make her a candidate for the primary approach for treating addiction?
You can supplement it with other approaches, but the 12-step program is the
foundation for everything else.
FEMALE SPEAKER: I don’t agree. I think some of this depends on the client.
And in Tiffany’s case, the research–
FEMALE SPEAKER: No. You’re not hearing me. Research and practice are two
very different things. I think you should get Tiffany into NA. And do it soon.
