Imagine being a mother struggling with opiate addiction, desperate for a way to reclaim your life and ensure the health of your child. That's where the Mom and Me Recovery Program steps in. In this episode of 'Hope Discovered', host Trista Todd sits down with Brooke Burkett, a dedicated counselor from the program, to explore the invaluable support it offers.
Brooke breaks down the nuts and bolts of the program, which is funded by a government grant to provide free services to mothers battling opiate addiction. The team, comprising a care coordinator, an on-site pediatrician, and a community health worker, works tirelessly to offer comprehensive care that includes counseling, medication-assisted recovery, and pediatric services. Brooke also addresses common misconceptions about addiction treatment during pregnancy and shares heartwarming success stories from the program.
She highlights the critical need for such services in Stark County, where the opiate crisis has hit hard. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand how targeted support can transform lives and offer hope to families in crisis.
