I hope I'm in The Herd years from now to see that we have a president in recovery voted through the recovery platform.
Imagine a world where recovery is at the heart of every political decision. In this episode of the 'Get In The Herd' podcast, Alex Bond brings together an impressive lineup of guests—Randy Anderson, Mike Todd, Joanna Vance, and Johnny Fab—to discuss the crucial role of recovery advocacy in our elections. This isn't just another talk; it's a passionate call to action.
The conversation dives into how educating elected officials can shift the narrative around addiction recovery, making it a central issue in our communities. The guests tackle the impact of failed drug war policies on treatment, shedding light on the necessity for medically-assisted treatment, especially in states where suboxone industries face volatility. They don't shy away from discussing the complexities of regulating recovery housing and emphasize the urgent need for a civil rights movement within addiction recovery.
The idea of building a recovery constituency takes center stage, highlighting the power of grassroots movements and local political engagement to bring about meaningful change. But it's not all policy talk. The episode also touches on the personal side of recovery, stressing the importance of individualized treatment plans. The guests share their experiences and insights on how tailored approaches can make a significant difference in overcoming substance use disorders.
They explore the challenges faced by those in prisons and the necessity for reform and reentry community listening forums. Ending on a hopeful note, the episode envisions a future where recovery advocacy forms a recognized voting block, making recovery a top priority in political agendas. Whether you're directly affected by addiction or interested in the broader implications of recovery advocacy, this episode offers a blend of inspiration and practical advice.
