Traditional recovery programs told them "no" - but these experts found a better way.
In this powerful episode of Psychedelic Source, Dr. Sandra Dreisbach sits down with Elizabeth Hoke and Julio Iniguez, founders of Recovery's Remedy, to explore the complex intersection of psychedelics and addiction recovery.
Elizabeth, a Portland-based therapist specializing in addiction recovery, shares her raw journey from working in bars at 16 to finding healing through both traditional programs and plant medicine. Her story highlights how psilocybin helped her find a spiritual connection she never thought possible.
Julio brings his unique perspective as a marriage and family therapist, describing how his early experiences as a Mexican immigrant shaped his relationship with substances and eventually led him to create a new model of recovery support.
Together, they challenge the rigid rules of traditional recovery programs while offering practical wisdom about:
• Why shame-free spaces are essential for true healing
• How to build healthy relationships with plant medicines
• The importance of set, setting, and proper integration
• Why connection matters more than abstinence
• Creating recovery spaces that welcome your whole self
Dr. Sandra guides this honest conversation with genuine curiosity, helping unpack complex topics like right relationship, the risks of solo practice, and finding balance between recovery and psychedelic work.
This episode offers hope for anyone questioning traditional recovery paths or seeking to understand how psychedelics might fit into their healing journey.
