Valery Shuman on Harm Reduction Housing and Overdose Prevention

Housing First is not just a buzzword; it is essential to understand its elements and barriers to employ them and ultimately hold programs accountable to it.
What happens when you mix harm reduction with housing solutions? Kenneth Anderson sits down with Valery Shuman, the Associate Director at Heartland Health Outreach - Midwest Harm Reduction Institute, to find out. They dive into the nitty-gritty of harm reduction housing and the housing first model, exploring how these approaches can make a real difference in people's lives. Valery shares her expertise on the fidelity index, explaining why it's crucial for holding programs accountable. The conversation doesn't stop there.
They also tackle overdose prevention, the unique challenges faced by homeless individuals, and the complex relationships people have with drugs and alcohol. Ever wondered about the autonomy of AA and steps groups or the importance of prevention training? This episode covers it all. And if you're curious about safer injection sites and their role in addiction treatment, you'll want to tune in.
Whether you're deeply involved in harm reduction or just looking to understand more about innovative addiction treatments, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
