Stigma and judgment are keeping people with a disease of addiction from getting the help they need, and this, in my opinion, is killing more people than overdoses.
What happens when a filmmaker uses his lens to spotlight the raw, real stories of addiction and recovery? In this episode of 'Get in the Herd', host Nathan Mitchell sits down with award-winning filmmaker Greg Williams to discuss his latest documentary, 'Tipping the Pain Scale'. This film isn't just another project for Greg; it's a heartfelt exploration of community-based, peer-driven solutions that are making waves in the recovery world.
Throughout their conversation, Greg shares powerful stories from individuals who have battled addiction and found their way to the other side. These aren't just tales of struggle but also of triumph and resilience. He emphasizes the crucial role of storytelling and lived experiences in inspiring others to seek help and support. By breaking down stigma and embracing vulnerability, Greg believes we can create a more supportive environment for those in recovery.
One of the key themes Greg touches on is the need for parity in addiction treatment. He argues that our current system often falls short and highlights the importance of right-sizing treatment options to meet individual needs. Greg also talks about an upcoming rally organized by the Department of Justice, aiming to raise awareness and advocate for much-needed changes in the addiction treatment landscape. This episode offers more than just insights; it provides a sense of hope and community.
Greg's passion for using film as a tool for change shines through, making this a must-listen for anyone interested in the power of community-driven recovery solutions. Tune in to hear how stories can transform lives and why community support is essential for lasting recovery.
