I think it's so important that people understand that cops deal with addiction and the stress and the mental health stuff, and I love this story like made me cry.
What happens when the pressures of law enforcement meet the struggles of addiction? Joe Schrank and Amy Dresner tackle this question head-on with their guest, Ex Deputy Sheriff Karen Moss (K Mo), in this gripping episode of 'Rehab Confidential'. K Mo, an openly gay former officer, brings a raw and honest perspective on the harsh realities faced by those in uniform.
She opens up about the prejudice she encountered as a woman in law enforcement and how she navigated recovery while serving on the force. The conversation dives deep into the rampant issues of alcoholism, mental health struggles, and high divorce rates among police officers. K Mo doesn’t hold back as she shares her thoughts on police reform, the war on drugs, and the critical need to rebuild trust within communities.
This episode offers a rare glimpse into the intersection of addiction and cop culture, shedding light on the urgent need for systematic changes in public safety. Tune in for a candid discussion that challenges stigmas and advocates for a more compassionate approach to mental health in law enforcement.
