When I think about this program, I think about bringing that humanness back to somebody who's out on the streets, who, believe it or not, even though there are some people out there who want to be actively in their disease, there is a much larger number of people who keep saying: why do I keep doing this?
Imagine a world where addiction is treated with compassion rather than judgment. In this episode of 'Live True', host Drea Dalzell sits down with her first guest, Phelicia L., RN, to dissect the Biden Administration's Harm Reduction Plan. This initiative aims to shift the focus from punitive measures to supportive, humane approaches for those grappling with addiction. Drea and Phelicia tackle common misconceptions, emphasizing the importance of creating safe spaces and reducing stigma around addiction.
Drea shares, 'When I think about this program, I think about bringing that humanness back to somebody who's out on the streets'. This conversation isn't just about policy; it's about understanding the human side of addiction. They also delve into personal stories, touching on themes like parenting, self-regulation, and the critical role of community support. If you've ever wondered how we can create a more compassionate society for those struggling with addiction, this episode offers valuable insights and heartfelt discussions.
