Shame can be one of the forces that keeps addiction going.

Dr. Blair Steel, Psychologist at Carrara Treatment, explains how shame can become paralyzing — and why addressing it is an important part of treatment.

Clinically, she focuses on separating the person from the behavior and reinforcing that addiction does not define someone’s character, value, or who they are at their core.

What happens to your liver when you stop drinking — and how quickly can it begin to heal?

The liver has a remarkable healing capacity. Dr. Craig Smith, Medical Director of Carrara Treatment, explains that a fatty liver will usually begin to improve within weeks of stopping drinking, while chronic inflammatory changes can take 3–4 months to begin resolving.

He also notes that if changes have not progressed to fibrosis, the liver may almost completely heal.

For many people, recovery isn’t just about giving up a substance, it’s also about redefining who they are without it.
