I mean both, maybe people more on the clinical side or people in treatment positions, peer recovery coaches as well, as you know, just people in recovery, people that are chairing meetings to really, you know, come together and talk about what are the needs of the recovery community in Lansing.
Nick Demott, the Project Coordinator for Lifeboat Addiction Recovery Services in Lansing, MI, has an incredible story to share. In this episode, Nick opens up about his own battle with opioid addiction and the transformative journey that led him to recovery. His candid discussion covers the deep lows of addiction, including dropping out of college and the struggle to find stability, before finally seeking help and turning his life around. But Nick's story doesn't end with his personal recovery.
He co-founded the Rapid Response Team in the tri-county area, focusing on post-overdose care, and he’s dedicated to helping others find their way out of addiction. He shares insights on the importance of early support, such as managing access to money, and highlights various pathways to recovery that can suit different needs. Nick also tackles the heavy topic of stigma surrounding addiction, advocating for open dialogue and community support to break down these barriers.
He introduces listeners to the Recovery Community Organization movement and the vital work done by Lifeboat Addiction Recovery Services. Throughout the episode, Nick offers practical resources for those in need, including comprehensive resource lists and financial empowerment programs. His story is not just one of personal triumph but also a call to action for advocacy and support within the recovery community.
