We must stop this cycle and start treating addiction like a public health issue, because no family should ever experience what we've been through.
What happens when a dedicated recovery advocate sits down with seasoned hosts to tackle the tough issues surrounding addiction? In this episode of 'Get In The Herd', John Shinholser and Alex Bond are joined by Robert Legge, a former RRCS Board of Directors Chairman and a passionate voice in the recovery community. The conversation spans a range of compelling topics, from the intricacies of addiction to the pressing need for reclassifying low-level felonies as misdemeanors.
Robert Legge brings his wealth of experience and unyielding commitment to reducing stigma and promoting the health and wellbeing of those in recovery. One of the standout points in their discussion is the argument for treating addiction as a public health issue rather than a criminal one. The trio delves into the significance of community service boards and crisis intervention in addressing both addiction and mental health challenges.
They also highlight the potential benefits of decriminalizing drug laws, which could pave the way for more compassionate and effective approaches to recovery. This episode is raw, honest, and packed with insights that challenge conventional views on addiction and public policy. It's a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the complexities of addiction and the importance of supportive policies in fostering recovery.
