Recovery, whether it is from substance abuse or a mental illness, or both requires a treatment plan, which in many cases is as effective as treatments for other chronic illnesses.
Imagine a system where the criminal justice system and youth services work hand-in-hand to support teenagers grappling with substance abuse. This episode of 'One Hour AT A Time' features a conversation between host Mary Woods and representatives from Spectrum Youth & Family Services in Burlington, Vermont, and the Chittenden County Criminal Court. They delve into an innovative partnership designed to enhance the effectiveness of pre-trial conditions for young offenders involved in substance-related crimes.
The discussion touches on the Niatx quality improvement process aimed at reducing wait times, making sure that help is timely and effective. You'll hear about the real-world challenges of treating teenage substance abuse and the surprising effectiveness of coerced treatment. There's also a focus on the significant impact of SAMHSA's Recovery-Oriented System of Care grant. This episode highlights the crucial role of family involvement in recovery, the struggles parents face, and the essential skills needed for personal responsibility.
Tune in to gain a hopeful perspective on how innovative partnerships can make a real difference in the lives of young people.
