I think it's important for people to understand that medication-assisted treatment is a tool in a bigger toolbox. It's not the only solution, but it can be incredibly helpful for some people.
Picture a conversation that dives deep into the heart of recovery efforts in Southern Nevada. That's what you'll get in this episode of 'Recover Everything', where Chelsea Money and Kris chat with Krista Hales, the IOTRC Director at the Center for Behavioral Health. Krista, a true Renaissance woman in the recovery community, breaks down medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and how it fits into the broader landscape of addiction recovery.
She explains how MAT isn't a one-size-fits-all solution but an essential tool in a comprehensive recovery toolkit. The discussion doesn't stop there. Joseph Engle from 'There is No Hero in Heroin Foundation' joins as a special co-host, adding another layer of insight. The group tackles the opioid crisis in Southern Nevada, shedding light on various initiatives designed to combat this pressing issue. Krista talks passionately about her involvement with Recovery Community Organizations, which offer drop-in centers for those needing support.
They also explore harm reduction services, including innovative methods like vending machines that distribute clean syringes to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. Krista's dedication to helping others shines through as she shares personal stories of how addiction has impacted her own family. This episode wraps up with a look at Tin Hai, an organization providing financial assistance for addiction treatment, and encourages listeners to get involved in supporting these vital community efforts.
If you're curious about the multifaceted approaches to recovery and want to hear from someone deeply committed to making a difference, this episode is a must-listen.
