Innovative Addiction Treatment at MiraVista: A Conversation with Dr. Katie Krauskopf and Roberto Agrait

Success in treatment could mean different things for different people. Broadly speaking, it's really when the negative behaviors take over your life and you're not able to make decisions that override them, even at the risk of death.
Ever wondered what makes a treatment center truly effective? In this episode of the Healing Voices Project, host Mike Tourville sits down with Dr. Katie Krauskopf and Roberto Agrait from MiraVista Behavioral Health Center to unpack their unique approach to addiction recovery. Dr. Krauskopf, who brings over eight years of experience in addiction medicine, shares her insights on early intervention and the critical role of accurate information in treating addiction.
Her background includes working in correctional facilities, partial hospitalization programs, and methadone clinics, giving her a well-rounded perspective on the complexities of addiction treatment. Roberto Agrait joins the conversation with a deeply personal narrative of his own journey through addiction and recovery. He emphasizes that success in treatment is not one-size-fits-all but should be defined on an individual basis. The episode sheds light on the benefits of methadone treatment for heroin addiction, aiming to demystify this often misunderstood option.
What sets this episode apart is its focus on community support and the collective effort needed to combat addiction. Dr. Krauskopf and Agrait discuss the importance of community professionals in supporting those struggling with addiction and how early intervention can make a significant difference. Listeners will find valuable takeaways on the necessity for broader awareness and understanding of effective treatment methods.
This episode is not just about sharing information; it's about fostering a compassionate and informed community ready to support those on their path to recovery.
