I think the recovery movement is really important and for people who are in recovery to participate in that in whatever way they feel comfortable is really important because it's educating the public and particularly educating people who need services who haven't gotten to the place where they're potentially ready for them or willing to accept them.
Have you ever wondered what the Surgeon General's report on alcohol, drugs, and health really means for you and your community? In this episode of 'Recovery Coast to Coast', Neil Scott chats with Dr. Kimberly Johnson, the Director of the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, live from the 39th Annual NAATP Leadership Conference in Austin, Texas. Dr. Johnson dives into the details of the report, which was released in November 2016 by then-Surgeon General Vivek Murthy.
She explains how it serves as a crucial tool for public advocacy at national, state, and local levels. Dr. Johnson doesn’t just skim the surface; she digs deep into the science of prevention, treatment, and recovery. She emphasizes that substance use disorders are preventable and highlights the urgent need for more research to support long-term recovery.
You’ll hear about the vital role that addiction treatment providers play in keeping these issues front and center, as well as how the broader recovery movement can educate the public and help those who haven’t yet sought treatment. This conversation is packed with insights that are both informative and inspiring. Dr. Johnson believes in the power of community action and urges everyone to get involved in prevention and recovery efforts.
Whether you’re someone on your own recovery journey, a professional in the field, or just curious about addiction treatment, this episode offers a wealth of knowledge and practical advice. Tune in to hear Dr. Johnson’s take on why the Surgeon General's report is a game-changer and how you can contribute to making a difference in your community.
