Joe Muchka's Grassroots Crusade Against Addiction

it has to come from the recovering community and grassroots organizations, unfettered mm-hmm, able to work in the ways that are needed for people, in ways that are helpful, right, authentic, authentic, all of those without state or federal encumbrances.
Imagine fighting a battle where the cavalry is never coming. That's the reality Joe Muchka faces every day. In this episode of 'Don't Die Wisconsin', hosts Kevin Schaefer, Patrick Reilly, and Ryan Gorman sit down with Joe, a tireless advocate for those battling addiction. With over twenty years of experience, Joe shares his passion for grassroots efforts and why they are vital for real change.
As the executive director of Addictions Resource Council and a member of the Waukesha County Heroin and Illicit Drug Task Force, he knows firsthand the power of community-based support. Joe emphasizes that genuine help often comes from local initiatives, free from the red tape of state or federal programs. He also discusses the importance of involving traditional healers in treatment and the limitations of relying solely on licensed therapists.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the challenges and triumphs of addiction recovery. It's a raw, honest conversation that sheds light on the importance of community and lived experience in making a difference.
