After the Show: The Real Talk on MAT, Stigma, and Sobriety

After the episode, we go deeper—unpacking what didn’t get said about medical assisted treatment, and the myths still holding people back in sobriety.

In this Recovered Life Plus exclusive, Judy Acheson and I go deeper into the conversation sparked by our main episode on Medically Assisted Treatment (MAT). This isn't just a recap — it's where we really pull back the curtain. We talk openly about the stigma still lingering in recovery circles, how misinformation is harming people, and why emotional sobriety matters just as much as physical abstinence. Judy shares powerful insights from the front lines of treatment, and we dive into uncomfortable but necessary topics — like people using MAT being judged unfairly, the misuse of treatment protocols, and how sugar, shame, and spiritual bypassing still show up in recovery spaces.
