We're not just dealing with a homelessness issue, we're dealing with a mental health issue and we're dealing with a drug addiction issue, and they're all three of them tied together.
Ever wondered how housing could be a game-changer in the fight against addiction and homelessness? In this episode of 'High Truths on Drugs and Addiction', Dr. Roneet Lev sits down with Secretary Dr. Ben Carson to explore this very topic. As the former U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and a renowned neurosurgeon, Dr. Carson brings a unique perspective to the table.
He emphasizes that tackling addiction, mental health issues, and homelessness requires more than just getting people off the streets; it’s about providing comprehensive support to help them rebuild their lives. Dr. Carson shares his experiences and insights on reducing veteran homelessness, highlighting the importance of wraparound services that go beyond just housing. He stresses that regulations often add unnecessary costs and complications, making it harder to protect the vulnerable. Faith communities and non-profits, according to Dr.
Carson, play a crucial role in building trust and offering much-needed support to those in need. The episode also touches on the foster youth to independence program, shedding light on how bureaucracy can sometimes hinder progress. Dr. Carson’s passion for these issues shines through as he discusses the interconnectedness of addiction, mental health, and homelessness. His approach is not just about finding immediate solutions but about creating lasting change. Join Dr. Roneet Lev and Secretary Dr.
Ben Carson for an eye-opening conversation that goes beyond the surface to address the root causes of these pressing issues. Whether you're directly affected or simply interested in understanding more, this episode offers valuable insights and hope for a better future.
