We actually are so used to video that we find speaking on the phone sort of like black and white TV from the early 60s.
Imagine a world where you can access addiction treatment from the comfort of your own home. That's the reality Peter Loeb, co-founder of Lionrock Recovery, is making possible. In this episode of 'Recovery Unscripted', Peter sits down with host David Condos to share his journey in creating a telehealth platform that offers remote addiction treatment through secure video conferencing and a mobile app.
This innovative approach is breaking down barriers for those who might not be reached by traditional treatment programs. Recorded at the Innovations in Recovery conference in San Diego, Peter discusses the personal motivation behind Lionrock Recovery and how his team is pioneering a new lifeline for individuals struggling with addiction. Over 50% of Lionrock's clients are employed, which sets them apart from the broader population seeking treatment.
The ability to receive help from home has been a game-changer for many, providing comfort and convenience. Peter acknowledges that online treatment won't replace residential programs but emphasizes its value as a more accessible option for some people. The platform has successfully hosted Step meetings via video conference, allowing participants to open up in ways they never have before. The social networking aspect of Lionrock has also been a revelation, with users offering support to each other in real-time.
This episode dives into the balance Lionrock strikes between providing support and avoiding micromanagement, understanding that people in early recovery don't want to be overly controlled. The result is a supportive community where people can unburden themselves and find solace. Tune in to hear how telehealth technology is reshaping the landscape of addiction treatment and offering new hope to those in need.
