Natalie Andrews on Recovery Capital: Building a Stronger Future for Sobriety

When you start having that discussion and movement towards that, then it becomes part of the system of okay. But if you look at at the, the story of how much are we already incurring costs because of the revolving door at the ed or other pieces that happen, police call outs on things- then the piece becomes- and I've not, I haven't done a cost effectiveness or anything on that.
Imagine having a roadmap to guide you through the maze of recovery from substance use disorders. In this episode of 'Recovery Greenhouse', host Gerald Lott sits down with Natalie Andrews, co-founder of Sauk Valley Voices of Recovery, to discuss exactly that. They dive into the concept of recovery capital, a term that might sound complex but is all about the resources and support systems that help individuals maintain their sobriety.
From peer recovery staff to the integration of primary care and behavioral health, they cover it all. Ever wondered how the cost of treatment impacts recovery? Or how local resources can make or break someone's journey to sobriety? Andrews and Lott explore these pressing issues with a mix of professional insight and heartfelt empathy.
By the end of their chat, you'll feel like you’ve gained a new perspective on what it takes to build a robust support system for those in recovery. And if you're ever feeling lost, Andrews has a simple yet powerful message: don’t hesitate to reach out for help. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating their own recovery or supporting a loved one through theirs.
