The healing is in the relationship, and I might add that it doesn't matter what relationship it is, it doesn't matter if it is a psychologist or a licensed counselor or a brownie troop leader.
Picture this: Northeast Ohio, 2016, a time when the opioid crisis was wreaking havoc, with 130 Summit County residents seeking help each week after overdosing. Amidst this chaos, Raynard Packard, a recovering addict himself, decided it was time for a change. In this episode of Cover 2 Resources, host Greg McNeil chats with Raynard Packard, the visionary behind the Packard Institute in Akron, Ohio. Founded in 2007, the institute aimed to revolutionize the way recovery was approached.
Packard had grown weary of the cookie-cutter treatment plans that were failing so many. He knew from personal experience that each person's journey to recovery is unique and requires a tailored approach. The Packard Institute’s model integrates family, community, and what they call a 'tribe' into the recovery process, ensuring that every individual receives the support they need. They emphasize the importance of relationships in healing and have even launched the Recovery Coach Academy to train volunteers.
This episode dives into how this innovative model has made a significant impact on the local community, offering hope and a fresh perspective on addiction recovery.
