I'm hopeful that through this crisis and through the attention that we're getting, we can transform the whole addiction field so that the private insurers will pay attention to the full range of recovery services that are necessary for these chronic, long-term conditions.
Imagine a gathering of the brightest minds in addiction treatment, all under one roof. That’s exactly what happened at the 40th Anniversary National Addiction Leadership Conference, hosted by the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers (NAATP) in Denver, Colorado. In this episode of 'Recovery Coast to Coast', Neil Scott takes you on a journey through this pivotal event, shedding light on the opioid epidemic and the innovative solutions being discussed to combat it.
From heartfelt interviews to inspiring award ceremonies, this episode is packed with valuable insights and real-life stories of perseverance. One of the standout conversations is with Elizabeth Fikes, director of outreach and communications, who emphasizes the importance of connection and relationship-building in addiction treatment. Her perspective offers a refreshing take on how human bonds can be a powerful tool in recovery.
Journalist Sam Quinones also makes a notable appearance, sharing his deep dive into how the heroin epidemic has ravaged small-town America. His book, 'Dreamland: The True Tale of America's Opioid Epidemic', earned him the Michael Q. Ford Journalism Award, and his insights are nothing short of eye-opening. The episode doesn't stop there. It also covers the critical role of data collection in addiction treatment and the need for a standardized process across all treatment sites.
This is crucial for understanding the full scope of the epidemic and crafting effective solutions. Moreover, the podcast touches on the pressing need for private insurers to recognize and support the comprehensive range of recovery services necessary for long-term success. Awards like the Nelson J. Bradley Career Achievement Award highlight individuals making significant strides in this field.
Join Neil Scott as he navigates through these essential topics, offering a blend of expert opinions and personal stories that make this episode a must-listen for anyone interested in addiction treatment and recovery.
