They deserve ethical treatment, help to be treated with dignity, just like any other treatable and preventable disease.
Ever heard of patient brokering? It’s a troubling practice where individuals are referred to treatment centers in exchange for kickbacks. In this episode of the Recovery First Podcast, host Mike Todd shines a light on this unethical behavior, explaining why transparency and ethical treatment are crucial in recovery spaces. But it’s not all doom and gloom. Mike also highlights the positive impact of quality peer support.
Certified peer support specialists offer genuine help and education to both individuals and families navigating the choppy waters of substance use disorder. These specialists stand as beacons of hope, providing a level ground for recovery that’s rooted in empathy and shared experiences. Mike doesn’t stop there; he also acknowledges the commendable work of organizations like The Recovery Advocacy Project, Challenges Inc, and The Clinton Foundation in their fight against substance use disorder.
Plus, hear about the South Carolina Recovery Housing Association's efforts to distribute naloxone to recovery houses. This episode is a must-listen for anyone wanting to understand the importance of ethical practices and the transformative power of peer support in the journey to sobriety.
