But if you're living in the same place, you need a network, you need to find the people that you already know who, who have made the change that you have, and that's why I think it's so powerful for people to come together, particularly in small communities.
Ever wondered how community can play a pivotal role in overcoming addiction? In this episode of the HOME Podcast, hosts Laura McKowen and Holly Whitaker sit down with Jeff DeFlavio, the founder of Recover Together, to explore this very question. Jeff's organization, soon to be known as 'Groups', was born out of a pressing need: millions of people struggling with heroin addiction but finding no healthcare providers to help them.
Jeff opens up about his journey to create a solution, blending community support with modern medical science to offer a lifeline to those in need. He discusses the grim reality of the opiate epidemic and how prescription opiates have historically fueled addiction. But it's not all doom and gloom; Jeff emphasizes the power of being honest with oneself and the transformative potential of community and fellowship in recovery.
With candid conversations and heartfelt insights, this episode sheds light on how we can rebuild lives through collective effort and understanding. Tune in to hear Jeff's inspiring mission and join the conversation on tackling addiction with compassion and care.
