Advocacy is advocacy, and how we advocate for individuals with drug and alcohol addiction is just as important as the way we advocate for children who've been abused and neglected, and there is almost a science to it in how to advocate and how to listen to the individual's needs and then be able to support them in their own pathway.
What if the key to lasting sobriety lies in community and peer support? In this episode of 'Homes and Hopes: Voices of Recovery and Resilience', Trudy Hodges, CEO of Springs Recovery Connection, sits down with host Beth Roalstad to explore this idea. Springs Recovery Connection is a dynamic recovery community organization (RCO) dedicated to helping individuals not just enter recovery but thrive within it.
Trudy shares how the organization has grown, its dreams for the community, and why being actively involved in recovery communities is crucial for lifelong sobriety. Trudy and Beth discuss how RCOs have become the backbone of the recovery movement across the United States. They’re not just support hubs; they’re leaders in policy advocacy, community education, and systems change initiatives.
Trudy highlights the importance of peer coaching, where individuals in recovery guide others through their journey, providing empathy, support, and real-life advice. The conversation also dives into the concept of whole person care in addiction treatment. Addiction affects every part of a person—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Springs Recovery Connection addresses these layers through various services, including spiritual groups and one-on-one sessions.
Trudy doesn't shy away from discussing the challenges faced by those in recovery, such as stigma and limited access to care. She emphasizes the need for community education to foster understanding and support for individuals battling addiction. Collaboration is another key theme. Springs Recovery Connection works hand-in-hand with organizations like Homeward Pikes Peak to offer comprehensive care and support. This teamwork ensures that individuals not only recover but also find stable housing and reintegrate into the community.
Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in understanding more about addiction and recovery, this episode offers a wealth of insights and hope.
