We're really, I think, working in rural communities to make a difference...being responsive to our fellow citizens is critical to a healthy society.
Imagine moving from the vast landscapes of Big Sky country to the bustling Motor City. That's exactly what Dave Johnson, CEO of the Fletcher Group, did. In this episode of the SMART Recovery® Podcast, Johnson takes us through his fascinating journey, highlighting how his diverse background in social work, healthcare, and academia has shaped his mission to aid rural communities struggling with addiction.
Alongside former Governor Ernie Fletcher, he founded the Fletcher Group to provide much-needed support and technical assistance to these often-overlooked areas. Johnson opens up about the unique challenges faced by rural communities and emphasizes the importance of being responsive to their needs. He also shares how the Fletcher Group's partnership with SMART Recovery is incentivizing recovery houses to adopt effective programs. One of the key takeaways from this episode is the critical role of stable housing in recovery.
Johnson discusses how a cognitive, rational, emotive approach can help individuals understand and change their self-destructive thought patterns. He also introduces the concept of recovery capital, which focuses on building resources that support long-term recovery. If you're interested in how innovative approaches are making a difference in addiction recovery, especially in rural settings, this episode is a must-listen.
