On Cosmic Confluence, we unpack how culture, religion, and evidence-based care intersect in addiction and mental health recovery. Behavioral health leader Tiffiney Randle shares how shame, secrecy, and stigma keep people sick—and how “culturally curious,” person-centered treatment plans can honor church, mosque, or temple alongside therapy and medication. Expect straight talk on integrating spiritual practices, rebuilding trust in care systems, and defining recovery as becoming whole—not just “not using. About the guest: Tiffiney Randle is a behavioral health executive and long-time interventionist who leads programs across Texas at the Cenikor Foundation. A survivor-advocate, she champions individualized care that respects spiritual identity while delivering clinical outcomes. Key takeaways: Stigma framed as “punishment” or “possession” drives silence, delaying help—programs must confront shame directly. Effective discharge plans can include pastors/rabbis/faith mentors alongside therapists and psychiatrists. Shift from “cultural competence” to cultural curiosity—ask clients to define wholeness and lead their plan. Recovery = whole-self restoration, not just abstinence; spiritual practices can coexist with medical care. Younger generations, fueled by the information age, name emotions earlier and seek help without guilt. Communal treatment should allow diverse scriptures and higher-power language while reinforcing mutual respect.
