Connecting the Dots: Amelia Reed on Recovery Oriented Systems of Care
It's important to show solidarity for the recovery community and to keep that networking. Sometimes we get isolated in our own little niche and we forget there's a whole big community out there and together we can do more than we can separate.
Ever felt like you're on an island when it comes to addiction recovery? Neil Scott's chat with Amelia Reed might just change that. In this episode of 'Recovery Coast to Coast', Amelia, the ROSC Manager at Lifetime Recovery in San Antonio, Texas, sheds light on the critical role of Recovery Oriented Systems of Care (ROSC).
Recorded at the 2015 TAAP State Conference on Addiction Studies, this conversation dives into how bridging the gap between inpatient treatment and lifelong recovery can make all the difference. Amelia brings a unique perspective as someone in long-term recovery herself. She talks candidly about the challenges in the addiction field and the importance of community support. Lifetime Recovery offers a range of services, from residential to outpatient care, all underpinned by their grant-funded ROSC program.
Amelia emphasizes that it's easy to get lost in your own little bubble, but true recovery flourishes when there's solidarity and mutual support within the community. One standout moment is when Amelia discusses how isolation can be a significant barrier to recovery. She passionately believes that working together can achieve far more than isolated efforts. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding how comprehensive support systems can pave the way for sustained recovery.
