Let the recovering people with substance use disorders help take the load off your backs a little bit so you can focus more on the severe services that do require a higher level of clinical experience and intervention, and blending the two together.
What if there was a way to drastically reduce addiction and overdose rates? In this eye-opening episode of 'Get In The Herd', hosts John Shinholser and Nathan Mitchell sit down with special guest Paul Kalchbrenner to discuss actionable strategies to combat these pressing issues. They delve into the upcoming Virginia General Assembly presentation, shedding light on how legislative changes can make a difference. Overdose deaths have surged by over 30% this year, making this conversation more urgent than ever.
One of the key points discussed is the effectiveness of jail programs, like those in Chesterfield and Henrico, which have shown promising results in supporting recovery. They also explore the potential benefits of legalizing marijuana, particularly how it could empower non-government organizations to offer genuine recovery support. The episode emphasizes the importance of community coordination and consumer involvement in improving recovery services across Virginia. Personal stories of addiction and recovery are shared, adding a deeply human element to the discussion.
If you're looking for insights and real-life experiences that could inspire change, this episode is a must-listen.
