We have so many rich opportunities to talk with other people who we would never normally be able to talk with and engage them in that change process.
When the pandemic hit, addiction professionals like Sam Price had to rethink their entire approach. As President of Ten16 Recovery Network in Michigan, Price oversees a program that serves both urban and rural communities. In this episode, Jason Schwartz chats with Price about how they've navigated these unprecedented times. One key issue they tackle is the difficulty in reaching individuals who aren't actively seeking help.
Price highlights the importance of working with healthcare providers to identify patients with hidden substance abuse issues and connect them to necessary resources. The conversation also touches on the rise of telehealth. With relaxed regulations, it has become easier for clients to attend appointments without the hassle of transportation. This innovation has been a game-changer for many. Price doesn't stop at discussing current challenges; he also shares his vision for the future of addiction treatment.
From shifting focus from mere recovery to overall wellness, to exploring new models like assisted living facilities for long-term recovery, Price's insights are both practical and forward-thinking. If you're curious about how addiction professionals are adapting during these trying times and what the future might hold, this episode is a must-listen.
