Jamelia Hand on Tackling the Opioid Crisis: Insights and Solutions

We have to look at the liability for treatment programs. There's JFK Medical Center in Palm Beach County, there's now Memorial Hospital, which is multiple hospitals in Hollywood, which is just south of Fort Lauderdale, and I know that there are other programs around the country where the ER is a place where they start medication-assisted treatment and then they make plans for continuing it.
Imagine facing one of the most pressing public health issues in the United States—the opioid crisis. In this episode of The Rehab podcast, Dr. Mark Leeds sits down with Jamelia Hand, the CEO of Vantage Clinical Consulting LLC, to discuss her hands-on approach to combating this epidemic. With nearly two decades of experience, Jamelia has worked with healthcare organizations and professionals nationwide to develop effective strategies for reducing opioid addiction and improving patient care.
Her expertise spans from practice management and treatment to managed care and advocacy, making her a pivotal figure in this fight. Jamelia emphasizes the need for individualized treatment plans, recognizing that addiction impacts everyone differently. She highlights the importance of listening carefully to each person's needs and treating them with respect and compassion. Addiction is a medical condition, not a moral failing, and understanding this is crucial for effective treatment.
The conversation also delves into the challenges of addressing opioid addiction, including the stigma that often surrounds it. Jamelia stresses the importance of honesty and open communication between patients and healthcare providers. She also touches on the responsibility of healthcare organizations to ensure their treatment programs are both safe and effective. Another key topic is the role of law enforcement in tackling the opioid crisis.
Jamelia discusses how collaboration between healthcare providers and law enforcement can lead to better outcomes for those struggling with addiction. This episode offers a comprehensive look at the opioid crisis through Jamelia's experienced lens. Her insights provide valuable perspectives on the challenges and opportunities in addiction treatment. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of how we can create effective solutions to this ongoing issue.
