Letting people know out there who are struggling with their problems with alcohol, their relationship with alcohol or other drugs, that there's ways to resolve those and move to a better place in their lives, to rebuild their lives.
Can two seemingly different approaches to addiction treatment find common ground? In this episode of Harm Reduction Radio, host Kenneth Anderson sits down with Patty McCarthy Metcalf, executive director of Faces and Voices of Recovery, to explore just that. They dive into the shared goals of the harm reduction and recovery movements, emphasizing that both aim to help individuals find their unique path to recovery.
Patty McCarthy Metcalf sheds light on various critical topics, including the importance of overdose prevention and naloxone training, especially for those exiting treatment or incarceration. Housing also takes center stage as a crucial element in the recovery process. The episode doesn't shy away from addressing the stigma surrounding medication-assisted recovery and underscores the need for robust advocacy and policy work to bolster addiction treatment.
Through their discussion, Anderson and McCarthy Metcalf paint a hopeful picture of how collaboration between these movements can make a real difference in the lives of those struggling with addiction. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in innovative approaches to addiction treatment and the power of working together.
