Ed Day on Championing Recovery in the UK: Challenges and Insights

The recovery support services need parity of esteem. A portion of the money is always spent on those services that don't look as clinical but go on longer in the community and that's harder, because that's harder to commission.
Ever wondered what it takes to be the UK's first Recovery Champion? Dr. Ed Day shares his journey and experiences in this engaging episode of Addictions Edited. From shaping his pioneering role to navigating the complexities of addiction policy, Dr. Day offers a candid look into the world of recovery support services. He reflects on the early 2000s when harm reduction and abstinence were often at odds, causing significant challenges in addiction treatment.
With a focus on the importance of infrastructure and investment, Dr. Day discusses how Recovery Oriented Systems of Care can harness the power of community support. He also highlights the need for 'parity of esteem' for recovery services, ensuring they receive the recognition and resources they deserve. Dr. Day's insights extend to his work in university settings, where he has been instrumental in developing recovery programs.
If you're curious about the intersection of policy, personal stories, and evidence-based practices in addiction recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
