I enjoyed her approach and insight into addiction recovery. It is refreshing to hear someone deviate from the traditional addiction recovery programs (AA/NA) and offer other alternatives. In my experience with clients, they can shut down or just go along with the program once there are aspects that are being pushed which clash with their belief system. The Patchwork approach that she presented seems like common-sense, but I've typically dealt with counselors who are sticklers for participants comply with their program by the letter or they consider the participant a failure.
