If that makes me an enabler, I am proud to claim that term. Harm reduction is not about celebrating drug use, it is about humanizing drug users and keeping them alive while they navigate toward recovery.
When you think about addiction recovery, harm reduction might not be the first thing that comes to mind. But for Donald Davis, it's a lifeline. In this episode of 'Recovery Corner', Davis, a former IV drug user and now the Executive Director of the Kentucky Harm Reduction Coalition, shares his compelling journey from addiction to sustained long-term recovery. With over 25 years in the field, he’s got stories and insights that can change how we see addiction and recovery.
Davis passionately talks about harm reduction, not as a celebration of drug use, but as a vital approach to keeping people safe and alive while they find their way to recovery. He explains how harm reduction empowers individuals to protect themselves, seek help, and rebuild their lives. From naloxone distribution to breaking down stigma and educating communities, Davis shows how these strategies can make a real difference.
If you're curious about alternative recovery paths or want to understand the true impact of harm reduction, this episode is a must-listen. Davis's experiences offer hope and practical advice for anyone touched by addiction.
