Recovery knowledge has been around a long time and it's really time that America gets off the special interest addiction and gets on to the healthcare recovery solutions. We need political will to change the bad drug policies.
Ever thought about how treating addiction as a healthcare issue rather than a criminal one could change lives? In this episode of 'Get In The Herd', John Shinholser and Carol Egan dive into the transformative Portugal Model for addiction recovery. Carol shares her firsthand experience studying this approach in Portugal, shedding light on how it treats addiction as a disease, not a crime.
She emphasizes the vital role of community involvement and political will in making such a shift possible in the United States. John adds his perspective on current American addiction policies and the pressing need for healthcare solutions. Together, they paint a vivid picture of what could be achieved with the right support and policies. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in innovative approaches to addiction recovery and policy reform.
