Addiction can be treated with the same effectiveness as other chronic diseases, but that there's a huge gap in the treatment industry in delivering this care and that many people with substance use disorders can't access this care.
Imagine losing a loved one to addiction and turning that pain into a mission to help others. That's exactly what Gary Mendell did when he founded Shatterproof, a nonprofit dedicated to transforming addiction treatment. In this episode of 'The Addicted Mind Podcast', host Duane Osterlind chats with Samantha Arsenault, the Director of National Treatment Quality Initiatives at Shatterproof. Arsenault dives into the organization's efforts to bridge the gap in addiction care by promoting evidence-based practices and personalized treatment options.
The conversation kicks off with the heartbreaking story of Mendell's loss and his drive to prevent other families from enduring similar struggles. Arsenault then sheds light on the broken addiction treatment system, emphasizing the need for treatments backed by solid research. She shares how Shatterproof's National Principles of Care aim to guide families in finding effective programs. You'll also hear about Shatterproof's innovative rating system for treatment centers, designed to provide transparent, reliable information based on consumer feedback and data.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the intricacies of addiction treatment and the strides being made to improve it.
