But a lawyer can make a real difference in a person's life.
Imagine facing a maze of legal issues while trying to recover from addiction. It's a reality for many low-income individuals who lack the resources to get the help they need. In this episode of the Cover2 Resources podcast, host Greg McNeil speaks with Legal Aid attorneys Michael Russell and Jennifer Kinsley, along with Dr. Albana Dreshaj from St. Vincent Charity Medical Center, about their groundbreaking medical-legal partnership.
This program, launched in October 2017, aims to remove legal obstacles that can hinder recovery efforts. From housing issues to veterans' benefits, the team provides comprehensive legal support to patients in recovery. They even train social workers and other providers to better understand the legal challenges their patients face. The results? Improved stability and successful outcomes for many patients. If you're interested in how legal aid can be a game-changer in addiction recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
