We know that anything in life that's worth doing, you have to invest in yourself. We really think you can't beat that experiential piece.
Ever wondered what it takes to help someone move from homelessness to sobriety? In this episode of the Landmark Recovery Podcast, Zach Crouch sits down with Heather Gibson, Vice President of Program Services at The Healing Place. This Louisville-based center has been a lifeline for over 6,000 men and women, offering free recovery programs since 1989.
Heather dives into the social factors that can either hinder or help recovery, sharing insights from her extensive experience in managing both men's and women's recovery programs. Heather and Zach explore the unique challenges faced by those battling addiction, such as the importance of 'recovery capital'—the resources and support systems that are crucial for long-term sobriety. They also discuss the benefits of long-term recovery programs and how early intervention can prevent addiction in children.
Heather emphasizes the need for awareness and education, not just for those in recovery but also for their families, who play a vital role in the healing process. One of the standout moments is Heather's take on the future of recovery. She believes that investing in oneself is key to overcoming addiction, saying, 'You have to invest in yourself and we know that anything in life that's worth doing. We really think you can't beat that experiential piece'.
Her words resonate deeply, offering a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with addiction or supporting a loved one through it. Tune in to hear how The Healing Place's model has been recognized as a 'Model That Works' by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and why it's considered a national leader in addiction recovery. Whether you're seeking inspiration or practical advice, this episode is packed with valuable insights.
