I advocate for this population because they're systematically the most discriminated group of people in the recovery community and in addiction treatment in general- and that's just a fact- like they have to hide in secrecy at recovery meetings.
Imagine navigating recovery while facing discrimination and lack of support. In this episode of the 'Recovery First Addiction Recovery Podcast', host Mike Todd sits down with Marc Burrows, Bobby Brazell, Michael Crouch, and Riley Koyote to tackle the pressing issue of equality in recovery housing. This isn't just another discussion; it's a call to action for anyone passionate about fair treatment in addiction recovery.
The conversation kicks off with a deep dive into the hurdles faced by individuals seeking medically assisted treatment (MAT). The guests share personal stories and professional insights, highlighting the discrimination that still exists within recovery housing. It's eye-opening to hear about the gaps in education around addiction treatment and how these gaps contribute to ongoing stigma. Peer support emerges as a crucial element in overcoming these challenges.
The guests emphasize the importance of community and shared experiences in fostering a supportive recovery environment. They also discuss the need for better funding and more robust regulations to ensure that recovery residences are safe and inclusive for everyone. One of the standout moments is the discussion on changing the language and mindset around recovery. Words matter, and the way we talk about addiction can either perpetuate stigma or promote understanding and compassion.
The episode wraps up with a powerful call-to-action: listeners are encouraged to advocate for those who are often overlooked and to push for evidence-based treatments. If you're interested in understanding the complexities of recovery housing and want to be part of the solution, this episode is a must-listen. It's not just about identifying problems; it's about working together to create lasting change.
