My Strange Addiction

TLC is known for shows about people with dwarfism, polygamy, and most recently, Sarah Palin. The newest show on the network that is creating buzz is My Strange Addiction, which premieres on Wednesday, December 29th. The new reality show gives an expository on the lives of real people who exhibit uncommon addictions and behaviors.

The trailer for My Strange Addiction shows footage of people who claim to be addicted to eating toilet paper, sleeping with a running hair dryer, and consuming laundry detergent. The show is bound to raise many questions about addiction and recovery.

Person-Directed Recovery

Person-centered recovery is directed, as much as possible by the person – including decisions about who should be included in the process.  The planning identifies just a few small, but meaningful, short-term changes that the individual can focus on helping to reduce some of the barriers or challenges moving forward.  Person centered care should be central to all recovery frameworks.
