Treatment is not a one-size-fits-all solution. We need to meet individuals where they are and provide a personalized approach to recovery.
What does it take to transition from an Olympic athlete to a beacon of hope in the world of addiction recovery? Carrie Bates, Outreach Manager for Hazelden Betty Ford in Oregon, shares her remarkable journey in this episode of 'Beyond the Bars Radio'. After battling her own addiction and achieving sobriety in 2012, Carrie dedicated her life to helping others find their path to recovery.
With a background that includes a successful career at Nike and three Olympic gold medals, Carrie brings a unique perspective to the field of addiction treatment. In this episode, Carrie discusses the Hazelden Betty Ford virtual family and children's programs, which offer free workshops in both English and Spanish. These programs are designed to educate families about addiction and provide them with the tools they need to support their loved ones on the road to recovery.
Carrie highlights the importance of individualized treatment plans and meeting people where they are in their journey. Listeners will also hear about the significant impact of addiction on families and the crucial role of mental health services for those with co-occurring conditions. The conversation touches on the therapeutic benefits of art therapy and the empowering process of rewriting one's life script.
Rob Lohman and Carrie Bates wrap up the episode with a heartfelt call to action, encouraging anyone affected by addiction to seek out the support and resources available through Hazelden Betty Ford's programs. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting a loved one, this episode offers valuable insights and hope for a brighter future.
