The distinguished and high-profile program, “Empowered”, hosted by Meg Ryan, is proud to announce an upcoming episode highlighting how stigmas and stereotypes associated with addiction impact treatment and the vital work being done at Liberty House Recovery Center, a leading addiction treatment center, to combat these flawed beliefs.

Addiction does not discriminate. It can impact anyone, regardless of profession, socioeconomic background, or zip code. Yet, stereotypes and stigma surrounding addiction and mental health can create significant barriers to seeking treatment and enlisting the help of loved ones in early recovery.

The segment will feature key members of the Liberty House Recovery Center team and will empower viewers through impactful life stories. Viewers will delve into the daily realities of addiction recovery, showcasing the challenges and triumphs faced by individuals on their journeys toward healing.

The segment provides an opportunity to witness firsthand the power of a supportive community and the importance of robust and evidence-based treatment practices.

"Our unique, judgment-free approach allows clients to participate in treatment while building their self-esteem and self-worth through expert, tailor-made treatment plans,” said Dr. Susan Abed, founder and CEO of Liberty House Recovery Center. “No two paths are the same but the reward – freedom from addiction – is universal.”

Liberty House Recovery Center offers a comprehensive continuum of care, including medically supervised detoxification, residential treatment, outpatient programs, and aftercare support. Their experienced and compassionate staff utilize evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction and equip individuals with the tools they need for long-term recovery.

Empowered with Meg Ryan will showcase Liberty House’s commitment to holistic healing, which incorporates a variety of evidence-based, mind-body-lifestyle approaches that work to treat the entire individual. The segment will also highlight the importance of relapse prevention planning and the power of a comprehensive aftercare plan.
