In-House Treatment: Balancing Benefits and Hurdles with Lauren, Trish, and Marie

Our field is the passion that is obvious in all of the recovery court teams that I work with here in Tennessee and around the country.
Imagine juggling a range of recovery services under one roof while facing the unique challenges that come with it. In this engaging episode of 'A Recovery Court Podcast', Lauren Berens and Trish Breeding share their experiences of running in-house treatment programs.
Lauren, the Director of Davidson County General Sessions Treatment Court, and Trish, the Director of Rutherford County Recovery Court Programs, team up with co-host Marie to offer a candid look at the ups and downs of their multidimensional approach to recovery. One standout advantage of in-house treatment is the tailored support it offers. From DBT-based classes to relapse prevention sessions, clients receive a variety of services designed to meet their specific needs.
The inclusion of a dedicated therapist helps clients navigate their emotions, which is crucial for maintaining healthy relationships. However, it's not all smooth sailing. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced these teams to get creative with limited space. Think using a side entrance or turning the lobby into a yoga studio. Compliance also poses a challenge, requiring tight coordination between the treatment team and probation officers. Despite these hurdles, the passion and dedication of the recovery court teams shine through.
As Trish puts it, "Our field is the passion that is obvious in all of the recovery court teams that I work with here in Tennessee and around the country". If you're curious about the intricate dance of in-house treatment services and how these teams make it work, this episode is a must-listen.
