Adapting Addiction Treatment During COVID: Scott Munson's Perspective

Certainly we've had to make some changes in our programs around social distancing and certainly admission protocols have changed and all providers are now having to highly screen people for temperatures and sickness, oftentimes having to have people hold off of coming into treatment until their temperature goes down or they're symptom-free.
Ever wondered how addiction treatment has evolved in the face of a global pandemic? In this episode of 'Recovery Coast to Coast', host Neil Scott sits down with Scott Munson, the executive director of Sundown M Ranch, to discuss the profound changes and challenges brought on by COVID-19. With over 40 years of experience helping individuals and families find their way to recovery, Munson offers a wealth of knowledge on navigating these unprecedented times.
He talks about the shift to social distancing and screening protocols, the rise of telehealth, and the necessity of virtual treatment options. Despite the hurdles, Munson reassures that providers remain committed to serving those in need. Family involvement, a cornerstone of Sundown M Ranch’s approach, has faced disruptions, but efforts are being made to offer remote alternatives. Financial barriers to treatment are also on the table, with Munson urging those in need to explore available resources like Medicaid.
He also touches on what the future might hold for addiction treatment as we adapt to new norms. If you’re curious about how addiction treatment is evolving or seeking insights into managing recovery during these challenging times, this episode is a must-listen.
