Relapse does happen, that we're part of the human race and that addiction is extremely difficult to overcome when it could stay in your body for a lot longer than you think, and you think that you're over it and you take a sniff and you're on the trail again, and I think that our society makes it so easy to go there again.
When you think of addiction recovery, detox might seem like the end goal. But for Bill Denihan, CEO of the Alcohol, Drug Addiction, and Mental Health Services Board of Cuyahoga County, it's just the starting line. In this episode of Cover2 Resources, Bill sits down with Greg Mcneil to discuss why detox alone isn't enough and what really needs to happen for a successful recovery journey.
One of the standout moments is when Bill points out that relapse is part of the human condition, saying, 'Relapse does happen, that we're part of the human race and that addiction is extremely difficult to overcome when it could stay in your body for a lot longer than you think, and you think that you're over it and you take a sniff and you're on the trail again, and I think that our society makes it so easy to go there again'.
Bill emphasizes the importance of long-term sober beds and the role they play in maintaining sobriety. He also talks about the power of leverage in drug courts and why more resources are crucial in the fight against addiction. This episode offers a candid look at the complexities of addiction and recovery, shedding light on both the challenges and the solutions.
If you're in the Cuyahoga County area and need help, remember there's a hotline available for support with suicide ideation, mental illness, and addiction. Tune in to gain valuable insights into what it takes to move beyond detox and achieve lasting recovery.
