The secret to our success in Georgia is community buy-in. We have one in downtown Atlanta that's known for art. Ok, there's no end to what they can do in these places.
Imagine finding a safe space where you can heal and grow, surrounded by people who understand your journey. That's what Recovery Community Organizations (RCOs) aim to provide. In this episode of 'Recovering Hope', host Mark Marcley sits down with Jeff Breedlove and Herb Stepherson to discuss the transformative power of these community hubs and the critical role of interventions in recovery.
Jeff Breedlove, an expert on RCOs, explains how these organizations offer a variety of activities to support those in recovery. He highlights their success in Georgia, particularly noting a popular RCO in downtown Atlanta known for its focus on art. Jeff believes that with strong community backing, similar successes can be achieved elsewhere, including North Carolina. Herb Stepherson, founder of Genesis Recovery, shares his compelling story of overcoming addiction.
He talks about his lowest points and how intervention played a pivotal role in his recovery. Herb emphasizes the importance of professional help during interventions, describing it as a two-day process that starts with family preparation and ends with the intervention itself. He points out that interventions are crucial for those in denial about their addiction and can significantly increase the chances of recovery.
This episode is packed with valuable insights and real-life experiences, offering hope and practical advice for anyone affected by addiction. It underscores the importance of community support and innovative approaches in the journey to sobriety.
