We really did a lot of research and studying and what's the best way to approach this and really had a front row seat to what the gaps in the system were. And when I was presented with an opportunity with several of the nation's top thought leaders to say how can we really impact society and the trajectory of society being impacted through the opioid epidemic, we felt like this was a very important place for us to lean into to help mothers while also helping them make sure that their babies are born healthy and thriving.
Imagine being an expectant mother struggling with addiction, navigating a healthcare system that often falls short of meeting your unique needs. In this episode of 'Recovery Unscripted', host David Condos sits down with Justin Lanning and Angie Alexander from 180 Health Partners to discuss how their organization is bridging these critical gaps.
They dive into the practical ways 180 Health Partners supports pregnant women by literally meeting them where they are—whether it's at a doctor's office, at home, or even through a quick text during a lunch break. The conversation also sheds light on the far-reaching impact of opioid addiction on both mothers and their unborn children, emphasizing the importance of timely intervention.
You'll hear about the role of oxytocin in addiction treatment and how bonding activities can promote its production, offering a unique angle on the path to recovery. Additionally, the episode highlights the necessity of collaboration between federal agencies and local organizations to provide comprehensive care. This episode is not just informative but also filled with hope and compassion, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of addiction treatment and maternal health.
