Treatment really is just a parenthesis in the middle of someone's life. All we have to do is work on part two of that, establishing long-term recovery.
Ever wondered how addiction treatment has evolved over the years? John Driscoll's story offers a fascinating glimpse into this journey. Starting his career in 1991 at St. Martin de Porres House of Hope in Chicago, John worked with homeless addicted women and their children. This early experience, shaped by the dedication of his aunt and Sr. Therese O'Sullivan, laid the foundation for his lifelong commitment to recovery services.
Now, as the senior vice president of Recovery Services at the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, John oversees clinical efforts nationwide and serves on the board of the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers. With three decades of experience and a license as an Alcohol and Drug Counselor, he brings a wealth of knowledge to the table. In this episode, John shares how addiction treatment has transformed, emphasizing the importance of peer support and family involvement.
He explains how the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation's model focuses on establishing long-term recovery, not just short-term fixes. John also highlights the power of family programs that educate loved ones about addiction and recovery. If you're curious about effective addiction treatment methods or looking for ways to support someone in recovery, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to hear John's valuable insights and learn how to make a lasting impact in the journey from addiction to recovery.
