We're here to try to save lives in the way that we send out prevention to clean needles to the meloxin program to recover, and that has to come in the client's choice, not our choice, of course.
Imagine a place where drug users can trade their used needles for clean ones, reducing the spread of HIV and hepatitis C. That's exactly what the Free Clinic Needle Exchange in Cleveland offers. In this episode of the Cover2 Podcast, host Greg McNeil sits down with Chico Lewis and Roger Lowe to talk about their work at the clinic and their own journeys through addiction and recovery.
The conversation gets real about the stigma surrounding drug use, how trauma impacts recovery, and the ethical questions that come with providing clean needles. Chico and Roger share personal stories that highlight the importance of support and resources for those battling addiction. They also discuss how personal narratives can raise awareness and inspire change. If you're interested in understanding the complexities of addiction or want to hear about innovative programs making a difference, this episode is a must-listen.
