In this short podcast excerpt, the speaker advocates a client‑centered, "pro‑choice" approach to addiction recovery. They argue that practitioners should avoid dictating a single path and instead offer suggestions and resources, allowing individuals to try options and decide what works for them. The speaker mentions providing a long list of 12‑step meetings for those who want that community, emphasizing that they are not anti‑12‑step but support the freedom to choose any recovery method that fits the client’s needs.

They go check it out and they either come back with a yay or a nay. And if it's yay, fantastic. If it's nay, what else can we work? What else can we have we got for you? You know, I have a long list of 12-step meetings that I send to people too regularly when they say, I want a 12-step program, I need that 12-step community, here's my list, check them out. It's like, we're not anti-12-step, we're pro-choice.
