Addiction is a disease, and so it's not about moral choice, or boy, if they could just work hard enough, or you know, it's so much more about the disease and how we can impact that woman for her future.
What does it take to help women in crisis rebuild their lives? In this episode of 'Recovery Unscripted', Linda Leathers, CEO of The Next Door, shares her experiences and insights. The Next Door, based in Nashville, is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting women affected by addiction, mental illness, trauma, and incarceration. Linda dives into the critical re-entry phase, emphasizing how crucial it is for women transitioning out of incarceration or treatment to receive ongoing support.
She discusses the organization's comprehensive approach, which includes treatment, affordable housing, and re-entry services. The conversation also touches on addiction as a disease and the importance of understanding and addressing it as such. Additionally, Linda highlights The Hero 6K Charity Event Series, which not only supports adults in recovery but also aims to build positive habits among young people.
This episode offers a blend of personal stories and practical strategies, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in addiction recovery and mental health.
