And for us to take this situation and say: but that kind of treatment for it isn't legit, people don't actually find recovery that way is unconscionable to me, right, and I personally know people who are in long term satisfying recovery in the way that I'm in long term satisfying recovery, who part of their recovery, one of their recovery supports, is ongoing use of either methadone or buprenorphine naloxone.
What does true recovery look like for those battling addiction and mental health issues? In this episode of the Behavioral Health Integration podcast, host Jacob Minnig sits down with Associate Professor Therissa Libby to tackle this profound question. Professor Libby, who co-coordinates Graduate Programs in Counseling at Metropolitan State University, shares her work on the Recovery Narratives Project, which delves into personal stories of recovery from substance use and mental health disorders.
The conversation is both eye-opening and deeply human, as it explores the multifaceted nature of recovery. From the benefits of opioid replacement therapy with methadone and suboxone to the controversial use of psychedelics like MDMA, the episode doesn't shy away from challenging topics. Professor Libby also addresses the often-overlooked issue of low salaries in the behavioral health field and advocates for legislative changes to support professionals better.
The episode emphasizes the need to break down stigmas, not just in society but within the healthcare system itself, to create a more supportive environment for those in recovery. Whether you're a professional in the field or someone seeking to understand the complexities of recovery, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in for a candid discussion that aims to redefine what true recovery means for everyone.
