Walking the Path to Recovery: Milly Day's Journey on the Camino de Santiago
“This has completely changed things because this is, in my opinion, anyway, the best kind of therapy you could imagine.”
Imagine trading a sterile rehab center for the ancient, winding paths of the Camino de Santiago. In this episode of 'The Rehab', Dr. Mark Leeds chats with Milly Day, the visionary behind Recovery Trekking. Milly’s own battle with addiction inspired her to create a program that blends physical activity, nature, and community to support recovery. Instead of the usual clinical settings, participants embark on a pilgrimage across Spain, immersing themselves in daily hikes, meditation, journaling, and 12-step meetings.
The idea is simple yet profound: healing the mind and body through movement and connection. Milly shares how this journey offers a fresh perspective on sobriety, helping individuals break free from the pressures of everyday life and rediscover themselves. She also touches on the practicalities, like working with insurance companies to make this life-changing experience accessible. Throughout their conversation, Dr. Leeds and Milly delve into broader topics like the opioid crisis and the critical role of Narcan.
This episode is a beacon of hope for anyone looking for alternative paths to recovery, offering a blend of inspiration and practical advice.
