The diversity of how people get better is so much larger than Ann Marie Cox thinking Hunter Biden, he should work in a deli, or I don't know what she wants.
Ever wondered how harm reduction can transform lives? Joe Schrank and Amy Dresner sit down with Guy Felicella, a passionate recovery counselor and harm reduction advocate, to explore this very topic. Guy opens up about his own harrowing journey through 20 years of homelessness and addiction, and how harm reduction strategies like safe injecting facilities in Vancouver played a crucial role in his path to sobriety.
The conversation doesn't shy away from the gritty realities of addiction but shines a light on the often-overlooked benefits of harm reduction. Guy shares his insights on Canadian drug policy, the failures of the war on drugs, and the ongoing stigma surrounding methadone and suboxone within the recovery community. He passionately argues for more compassionate and varied approaches to addiction treatment, emphasizing that there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of addiction recovery and the importance of offering diverse paths to healing. Tune in to hear Guy's compelling story and his call for a more empathetic approach to supporting those battling substance use disorders.
