Three Life-Changing Programs in Ashland: Recovery Housing, Hospital Liaison, and Community Referral
Episode Overview
Recovery Housing offers temporary supportive housing for those in recovery. The Hospital Liaison Program ensures proper care during psychiatric crises. Community Resource and Referral helps navigate various local services. These programs aim to prevent crises by addressing basic needs early. Supportive environments are crucial for successful recovery.
It's like a transition, sort of. So they're not just back thrown into the world doing it on their own.
Dr. Ashley and the Boss are back with another episode of Keeping Ashland Healthy, where they shine a light on three vital programs that support the Ashland community. They kick things off by discussing Recovery Housing, a service provided by ACAIDA, which offers temporary, supportive housing for individuals in recovery. This program ensures that those in recovery have a safe place to stay while they rebuild their lives, free from the triggers and stressors of their previous environments.
It's like a transitional haven, helping people focus on their sobriety without the added pressure of finding immediate housing. Rick Ford and Lori, a peer recovery supporter, play key roles in making this program a success, offering both individual and group support to residents. Next up is the Hospital Liaison Program at Appleseed, managed by Pam. This program is crucial for those experiencing psychiatric or emotional crises.
Pam ensures that individuals receive the right care during hospital stays and helps coordinate their discharge plans to prevent repeated hospital admissions. It's all about providing continuous support and making sure no one falls through the cracks. Finally, they highlight the Community Resource and Referral Program run by Catholic Charities. Denise, the resource and referral expert, helps community members navigate various services, from housing to food to medical care.
This program is all about prevention—getting people the help they need before their issues escalate into crises. Dr. Ashley and the Boss wrap up the episode by emphasizing the importance of these programs in keeping Ashland healthy and encouraging listeners to reach out if they or someone they know needs assistance. So, if you're curious about how these programs can make a difference, this episode is definitely worth a listen!
