We really want people to feel like they always have a place to go, because even when you have years of sobriety, life's going to throw you a curveball.
Ever wondered what makes a treatment center truly effective? In this episode of 'Recovery Innovators Radio', host James H. Healy chats with Karen Wolownik-Albert and Rachel Obafemi from Gateway Foundation, a place dedicated to evidence-based addiction treatment. They dive into the nuts and bolts of their comprehensive approach, which spans from residential care to aftercare, ensuring that each person's unique needs are met.
They also tackle mental health support and the crucial aspect of relapse prevention, making it clear that recovery is a continuous journey. But it doesn't stop there. Karen and Rachel emphasize the power of community and family involvement in the recovery process. It's not just about treating the individual; it's about creating a supportive network that fosters long-term sobriety.
Their commitment to erasing the stigma around addiction is evident through their initiatives, like the naloxone distribution program aimed at saving lives from overdose. One standout aspect is Gateway's involvement in the 'A Way Out' program in Lake County, Illinois, which offers law-assisted diversion for those seeking help. This episode isn't just informative; it's a beacon of hope for anyone touched by addiction. Tune in to hear how Gateway Foundation is making a difference, one life at a time.
