Putting that aside, we are not going to arrest our way out of addiction. So we're now moving- at least you guys are in Morris county- past the standard, kick the door down and lock up the bad guys, war on drugs, and that I think we need to see replicated all over the country.
Addiction is a tough battle, but in New Jersey, the fight has taken on a proactive and urgent approach. In this episode of Recovery Radio, Morris County Sheriff James Gannon, Kelly Efchak from Retreat, and Alton Robinson of the Center for Addiction Education and Success (CARE) share their insights on how the Garden State is tackling substance abuse head-on.
Sheriff Gannon discusses the Hope One program, a mobile unit that brings addiction education and services directly to communities, showing that there's a shift towards a more compassionate and supportive treatment model. The guests emphasize the importance of community outreach programs and sustainable recovery, moving away from the old 'war on drugs' mindset. They highlight the need for a holistic approach that involves not just law enforcement but also community support and education.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding how proactive measures and community involvement can make a real difference in combating addiction.
