Welcome to Realistic Sobriety
At Realistic Sobriety, we revolutionize addiction treatment and harm reduction through innovative research and consulting. Our unique approach addresses the evolving landscape of drug use with realistic and compassionate solutions.
Our Mission
We understand that traditional views on addiction treatment in America often fall short, especially with the rise of potent synthetic drugs like fentanyl. Complete abstinence, while ideal, isn't always realistic for those struggling with prolonged use of such powerful substances. We believe in a fundamental truth: preserving life.
When faced with the choice between helping a loved one manage a controlled addiction and losing them to an overdose, the answer is clear. The reality is that synthetic drugs leave little time for intervention, making it crucial to find a balanced approach. Unlike the past, where heroin addicts could sustain their addiction for decades, today's drugs demand immediate and realistic solutions.
Harm Reduction and Realistic Sobriety
We advocate for a harm reduction strategy that embraces the middle ground, providing support without forcing individuals into extreme choices. In America, we must be willing to prescribe painkillers like codeine to those in need, reducing the risk of them turning to dangerous street alternatives. These counterfeit drugs, often indistinguishable from the real thing, carry lethal doses that can end lives in an instant.
Our philosophy is simple: give people a chance to recover. You can't battle addiction if you're in the ground. Harm reduction isn't just a policy issue; it's a matter of life and death. With over 100,000 drug-related deaths annually, exceeding fatalities from COVID-19 and other causes, the urgency is clear. These are often young lives cut tragically short.
The Realistic Sobriety Lifestyle
Realistic Sobriety aims to be as widespread and accepted as AA, offering a more welcoming and honest environment. We believe in creating a lifestyle that allows individuals to be themselves, stay alive, and find the best ways to manage their use. It's about providing alternatives that aren't as dangerous as the lethal combinations found on the streets.
Overall Realistic Sobriety is now coming to life in the public eye, the reality of it is that for years research has been being compiled. From innovative new approaches to therapy to advancing and laying out a path forward with at least a dozen more than promising new natural and man made medications. Instead of trying to find a new drug to offer we instead looked at safer, healthier, more effiecient, and effective options that are aimed at actually creating a solution instead of a bandaid.
This project will be going on 10 years, we are just now at a point where we know that with the right partners true progress in this area can be made.
