White people go to rehab and black people go to prison.
Ever wondered why rehab can seem like a luxury for some and a distant dream for others? Joe Schrank and Amy Dresner dive deep into this pressing issue with their guest, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Franchesca Gordon. This episode of 'Rehab Confidential' takes a hard look at the racial disparities that plague the world of addiction treatment.
Franchesca, who has worked in both high-end and county-owned treatment centers, shares her firsthand experiences and insights on how these inequalities manifest in real life. The conversation covers everything from the impact of generational trauma on people of color seeking treatment to the stark contrast between how white people and black people are treated when it comes to addiction—rehab for some, prison for others.
Joe and Amy, known for their candid and irreverent style, don't shy away from tough questions or controversial topics. They also touch on Andrew Gillum’s comeback and, true to form, Joe throws in some of his signature jabs. But at its core, this episode is a call to action for mental health professionals and society at large to recognize and address these systemic issues.
If you're interested in understanding the intersection of race and addiction recovery, this episode offers a raw and enlightening perspective. It's a must-listen for anyone committed to fostering change in the rehab world.
