Outpatient Rehab: A Pathway to Recovery with Matthew Polacheck

I see community becoming a big part of it and I just see the lower the stigma goes down and hopefully more... We need people around us, we need support. You're propagating there in West LA. You're propagating the antidote to addiction, which is community.
Imagine navigating the rough waters of addiction while staying connected to your daily life and loved ones. That's what outpatient rehab offers, and it's becoming an increasingly popular option, especially for those battling opioid use disorder. In this episode of 'Let's Talk Addiction & Recovery', host William C. Moyers sits down with recovery expert and clinician Matthew Polacheck, PsyD, to break down why outpatient treatment is gaining traction.
Matthew shares how individualized care is at the heart of effective outpatient programs. It's not a one-size-fits-all approach; instead, it tailors the treatment to meet each person's unique needs. This flexibility allows individuals to maintain their daily routines while receiving the support they need to overcome addiction. One of the standout points in their conversation is the critical role of peer support and community involvement.
Matthew explains how having a network of supportive peers can make a world of difference in someone's recovery journey. He emphasizes that sharing stories and experiences within a community helps break down the stigma associated with addiction, making it easier for people to seek help. The episode doesn't shy away from complex topics like medication-assisted treatment and polysubstance use disorder. Matthew and William discuss how these treatments can be integrated into outpatient programs to provide comprehensive care.
They also touch on the impact of marijuana use, offering insights into how it fits into the broader picture of addiction treatment. Whether you're personally affected by addiction or know someone who is, this episode offers a hopeful perspective on recovery. It's a reminder that with the right support and care, overcoming addiction is possible. Tune in to hear more about how outpatient rehab can be a lifeline for those seeking a healthier, happier future.
