Often I've worked in different centers and I've been an admissions counselor and then get calls from across the country, from people that were in certain states where all they had was medicaid or Medicare, you know, and so I usually go on the samsho website and refer them to- you know, like a state-funded hospital- to where they would go, and they don't get the type of treatment that a lot of treatment centers provide, but they do have a safe haven where they can go and they can detox and then they can.
Ever felt the frustration of seeking help for addiction and finding the resources lacking? You're not alone. In this eye-opening episode of the Sober Grind Podcast, guest Kevin Crump dives into the harsh realities of the resource crisis in addiction recovery. Hosted by Beginnings Treatment Centers, this discussion sheds light on the obstacles many face when trying to access the help they desperately need.
Kevin shares his personal experiences and insights, making this episode a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction. From insurance woes to the high costs of treatment, the conversation is both raw and enlightening. Kevin recalls a time when scholarships were the main avenue for treatment because insurance companies didn’t cover behavioral health or addiction. Fast forward to today, and while there are more in-network options, affordability remains a significant barrier.
State-funded programs exist but are often stretched thin, leaving many without adequate support. Online resources are growing but are still not widely accessible, adding another layer of complexity to an already challenging situation. Kevin also touches on the exorbitant costs charged by some treatment centers, which can put recovery out of reach for many. He suggests that government intervention might be necessary to make meaningful changes, although it remains to be seen whether politicians will step up.
This episode underscores the importance of community support and accessible resources for those battling addiction. It’s a sobering look at the current state of addiction recovery resources and a call to action for better solutions. Tune in to hear Kevin's compelling insights and join the conversation on how we can make recovery more accessible for everyone.
