Don't be afraid to reach out for help. That's what we're here for, and you know, that's all I got there.
Imagine a place where immediate help and support are just around the corner for those battling substance use and mental health issues. That's exactly what Davis Behavioral Health's Receiving Center offers. In this episode of 'Healthy Mind Matters', host Maria Shilaos chats with Nichole Cunha, the Adult Mental Health Director, and Kristi Brown, the Recovery Support Program Supervisor, to shed light on their unique approach to recovery.
This center isn't your typical facility; it provides crisis respite, medication-assisted treatment, and evaluations by therapists. But what truly sets it apart is its peer support system and the innovative pre-booking jail diversion program. Instead of facing misdemeanor charges, individuals are brought to the center by law enforcement, saving them from hefty court costs and providing a chance at recovery. The pandemic has added hurdles, like the challenge of connecting through telehealth and finding stable housing.
However, the episode highlights that reaching out for help is crucial and that community resources are available to support those in need. Tune in for a heartfelt discussion on overcoming obstacles and the power of peer support in recovery.
