California's New Approach to Substance Abuse Treatment: Shorter Stays, Bigger Questions
So I envision that there'll be a lot of work spent on mentally and emotionally preparing counselors to adapt to this change, counselors and residential programs specifically to adapt to this change and prepare to be seed layers and foundation layers.
Imagine a world where the time you spend in a treatment center is cut by two-thirds. That's what's happening in California as residential substance abuse treatment programs reduce their duration from 90 days to just 30 days. In this episode of 'ROACHE on RECOVERY', the hosts dive into what this drastic change means for those battling addiction and the professionals who support them. How do you pack months of recovery work into just one month?
And what does this shift say about the future of substance abuse treatment? These are just some of the pressing questions tackled in this conversation. The episode doesn't just stop at discussing the new treatment timelines. It also covers how counselors and staff are gearing up for this change, aiming to be both seed layers and foundation builders for their clients.
Plus, there’s a bit of everything else—from the latest news to sports talk and even a mention of Kobe Bryant's wrongful death lawsuit against the helicopter company. But at its core, this episode is about understanding the ripple effects of California's new approach to treatment. Will shorter stays lead to better outcomes, or will it create more challenges? Tune in to get a well-rounded perspective on this significant shift in the recovery landscape.
