Nobody's doing that nobody's just going to come into us and saying: look man, no, you're tired, you're overworked. And if I'm pissing some people off, so be it, I don't care, I'm speaking the truth.
Ever wondered what it takes to fund and run a recovery residence? In this episode of the 'Recovery First Addiction Recovery Podcast', host Mike Todd sits down with Tina Harris, the Director of Greenville County Outreach of FAVOR Greenville. Tina's journey from addiction to becoming a key advocate for recovery housing is nothing short of inspiring. Originally from California, Tina's life took a significant turn when she stopped using drugs and returned to college, rekindling a lost dream.
Now a senior at USC Beaufort, she's dedicated her life to helping those affected by substance use disorder, mental illness, and homelessness. Tina shares her personal story, detailing how she went from being an intern at FAVOR to becoming a volunteer, recovery coach, and eventually an ambassador for FAVOR’s Hope and Healing Tour. Her passion for advocacy shines through as she discusses the challenges faced by underserved recovery houses and the critical need for tailored certification processes.
The episode also highlights the South Carolina Recovery Housing Association's role in advocating, training, and mentoring recovery housing operators. But it's not just about the big picture; Tina and Mike dive into the nitty-gritty details, like the importance of job opportunities for people in recovery and the life-saving impact of naloxone in recovery housing. The conversation is both enlightening and hopeful, offering practical insights and real-life applications for anyone involved in the recovery community.
Whether you're struggling with addiction, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in the complexities of recovery housing, this episode is packed with valuable information and heartfelt stories.
