Unfortunately, I'm sorry to hear was not, and it just added into your addiction problem. In all the years that I've been a clinician I've never seen anything like this.
What happens when trauma goes unchecked in the early stages of life? This episode of Cover 2 Resources dives into that very question with Joel Mowrey, Executive Director of The Mental Health and Recovery Board of Portage County, and Kelly Heart, a recovering addict. Greg McNeil hosts this eye-opening discussion on the critical need for early trauma intervention to prevent addiction.
Joel Mowrey explains how his organization provides crucial funding, monitoring, and planning for services that address both mental health and substance abuse. Kelly Heart brings a personal touch to the conversation, sharing her journey from prescription pain medication to addiction and, ultimately, recovery. She emphasizes the indispensable role of support systems and resources like those offered by The Mental Health and Recovery Board.
Together, Mowrey and Heart unpack the complex relationship between trauma and addiction, discussing everything from biological factors to the urgent need for more awareness and action. They also tackle practical issues like the scarcity of treatment beds and the importance of planning for potential relapses. Whether you're directly affected by addiction or simply want to understand its roots better, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable information.
