The thing is, it's a treatable and preventable disease, but unfortunately we still see it as a moral failure and we see that all the way across the board.
Kicking off a new season, the #RecoveryFirst Podcast by Freedom Recovery Services of Greenville dives deep into the world of addiction recovery. Hosted by the passionate Mike Todd, this episode sets the stage for what listeners can expect in terms of local and national advocacy. If you’re curious about how community-based initiatives are making waves in Greenville, SC, and beyond, this episode is your gateway to understanding those efforts.
The hosts share their vision for the podcast, emphasizing the importance of breaking the stigma surrounding addiction. They argue that treating addiction as a disease rather than a moral failing is crucial for recovery. You’ll hear about the power of treating drug users with dignity—an approach that can increase the likelihood of seeking treatment fivefold. Another significant topic covered is medically assisted treatment. Initially met with skepticism by the hosts, they now recognize its essential role in the recovery process.
Their journey from doubt to understanding offers valuable insights for anyone navigating similar paths. The episode also highlights the need for investing in recovery services in South Carolina. The hosts discuss their plans to petition the governor and collaborate with the Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services to bring dedicated recovery resources to the state.
Ending on an inspiring note, the hosts express their excitement about amplifying recovery voices and advocating for policies that support those affected by addiction. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the multifaceted efforts to combat addiction and support recovery.
