I moved into a recovery residence that was willing to take me and from that spot of absolute hopelessness I began to take the actions that were necessary to build a program of recovery that has sustained me so far.
What’s really going on behind the doors of Florida’s sober homes? In this episode of 'Recovery Unscripted', host David Condos sits down with John Lehman, a key figure from the Florida Association of Recovery Residences (FARR). Lehman has worn many hats at FARR, from president to board member, and he brings a wealth of experience to the table. He shares his firsthand knowledge about the current state of recovery residences in Florida and the significant hurdles they face.
Recorded at the Moments of Change conference, this conversation dives deep into the challenges of regulating and improving sober homes. Lehman sheds light on the crucial role of FARR in ensuring these homes are safe and effective for those seeking help. He also discusses how legal measures, like the patient brokering statute, have been used to shut down unscrupulous providers. But it’s not all about challenges; Lehman offers hope by highlighting how integrated care can enhance patient outcomes.
His insights come from both personal experience living in recovery residences and his professional efforts to clean up the industry. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of recovery support services and the ongoing efforts to improve them.
