Pioneering Recovery: Lionrock's Groundbreaking Support for First Responders
Getting help online is really the most private way to get help because, and particularly the way we've structured it, the schedules are flexible, so they work around your life.
Imagine being a first responder, dealing with the daily stresses of saving lives, and then facing the battle of addiction on top of it all. In this eye-opening episode of '911 for 911 Radio', host Mark Lamplugh sits down with Peter Loeb, the CEO of Lionrock Recovery, to discuss their innovative Thin Line program. This isn't just any recovery program; it's the nation's first online video intensive outpatient service tailored specifically for first responders.
The flexibility and privacy it offers make it a game-changer for those who are often too busy or hesitant to seek help in traditional settings. Peter shares his own journey through addiction, making the conversation deeply personal and relatable. He also dives into the nitty-gritty of how Lionrock works with insurance companies to make their services accessible and affordable. Another highlight? The free weekly online recovery support groups that provide a crucial lifeline for first responders.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone in the emergency services field, their families, or anyone interested in the intersection of mental health and frontline work. Mark's empathetic interviewing style ensures that listeners not only gain valuable insights but also feel a sense of community and support.
