I truly believe in what we do. Seeing my family go through it over the years, I know that there's another side and I know that recovery is possible, and so giving that to just one person gives me the hope to continue on.
Imagine you're navigating the complex journey of addiction recovery, and you've just completed a residential treatment program. What's next? This episode of 'Recovery Unscripted' dives into the crucial role outpatient care plays in maintaining and building upon the progress made during residential treatment. Host David Condos chats with Alex Dorsey, who leads the admissions team for Foundations' 13 outpatient facilities, and Ashley Buchanan, a patient care coordinator at Black Bear Lodge in Georgia.
They break down how outpatient treatment serves as a bridge, helping individuals transition smoothly from intensive care to a sustainable, independent life in recovery. Alex and Ashley share practical advice on creating effective aftercare plans, addressing common obstacles like resistance to treatment, and the importance of community support. They also touch on the future of virtual support and initiatives like the Heroes in Recovery movement.
Whether you're directly involved in recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers invaluable insights into making the most of outpatient care.
