We need to help you with treatment, not throw you in a jail cell and have you come out the same person you went in as? So, regardless of what these people are using and whether it's legal or not, you know, as someone in recovery and in the addiction field, that's a bigger concern to me- is how are we treating these people and recognizing it before it's too late?
Ever wondered how marijuana legalization might impact addiction recovery? This episode of Right Turn Radio dives into that very question. Hosts Jon Cohan and Abby Dean sit down with Kim C. and Krystin Q., two women who are navigating their own paths to sobriety. This isn't your typical discussion; it's an open forum where real experiences meet pressing issues.
From the potential benefits of an alcohol tax to fund treatment to the stigma that still surrounds addiction, nothing is off the table. Kim and Krystin share their personal journeys, shedding light on the importance of self-esteem and confidence in the recovery process. They also touch on the need for treatment-focused approaches rather than punitive measures, especially in places like Massachusetts where addiction rates are high. And if you think recovery is all about struggle, think again.
The episode also highlights musical talents in recovery and an upcoming event featuring Warren Haynes from Government Mule and The Allman Brothers. Tune in for a conversation that's as enlightening as it is engaging.
