Treatment isn't always about abstinence. There were a bunch of people that we recognized that the stigma was there, and people were dying and becoming deathly ill due to just lack of access to equitable health materials like a clean syringe.
Imagine a world where addiction treatment isn't just about abstinence but also about creating safe spaces and reducing harm. That's exactly what you'll find in this episode of 'Facing Addiction'. Kim Boardman, co-founder of Shot in the Dark, sits down to share her journey and the critical role harm reduction plays in addiction treatment. From clean needles to safe injection sites, Kim sheds light on how these initiatives can promote public health and support those struggling with addiction.
She emphasizes that fear of judgment and stigma often keep people from seeking help, and harm reduction can bridge that gap. Kim also touches on the impact of fentanyl, the importance of setting boundaries, and how parental involvement can make a difference. If you're curious about innovative approaches to addiction recovery, this episode offers a refreshing perspective. Tune in to hear Kim's insights and discover how harm reduction can lead to positive change.
