Rethinking Recovery: Mike Todd on Medically Assisted Treatment and Housing

Let's open up our hearts and our minds to getting educated on this medication and realizing I don't know it all, I absolutely don't know it all, and that if it comes down to keeping somebody's child alive, that's what matters.
How do you know when it's time to say 'enough is enough'? In this thought-provoking episode of The Recovery First Addiction Recovery Podcast, host Mike Todd dives into the often misunderstood world of medically assisted treatment (MAT) and recovery housing. Once a skeptic of MAT, Mike shares his personal journey of transformation, highlighting how education and relationships shifted his perspective. This episode isn't just about changing minds—it's about saving lives.
Mike emphasizes the importance of what he calls TREE: Trust, Relationships, Education, and Equity in the recovery process. These pillars, he argues, are crucial for anyone battling substance use disorders. But that's not all. The discussion also shines a light on the essential role of recovery housing operators and the need for robust advocacy, comprehensive training, and dedicated mentorship in the recovery community.
If you've ever wondered how these elements come together to support lasting sobriety, this episode offers valuable insights. Whether you're directly affected by addiction or supporting someone who is, you'll find this conversation both eye-opening and heartening. Tune in to hear real stories, expert advice, and practical tips that could make a difference in your recovery journey.
