We make strides with other diseases all the time. AIDS is no longer a death sentence. Cancer is being beaten back, and certainly we can do the same thing with addiction.
Carolyn Bradfield had what many would call a picture-perfect life: a loving husband, two beautiful kids, and a successful career in technology. But life has a way of throwing curveballs. Her husband's descent into alcoholism and her daughter's battle with drug addiction shattered that idyllic image. In this episode of 'InterAct LifeLine Audio Journal', Carolyn shares her deeply personal story of turning profound grief into a purposeful mission to combat the opioid crisis.
After losing her daughter Laura to an overdose, Carolyn didn't let despair consume her. Instead, she channeled her pain into creating InterAct LifeLine, a technology service dedicated to supporting addiction treatment and recovery programs. Carolyn discusses the necessity of long-term treatment and the role of technology in keeping individuals connected to their treatment plans, communities, and families. InterAct LifeLine offers treatment programs a portal filled with educational resources, support networks, and tools like personal calendars and telehealth connections.
This approach aims to reduce relapse rates by fostering continuous support and accountability. Carolyn's story is not just about loss but about resilience and transformation. She emphasizes that addiction, like other chronic diseases, requires ongoing management and support. By leveraging technology, InterAct LifeLine aims to make a significant impact on families and communities affected by addiction. If you're looking for inspiration and practical insights on how technology can aid in addiction recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
