Their lane is clear and what they're offering is connection in many ways, and it breaks down to three ideas: body, mind and spirit.
Imagine a place where those on the road to recovery can find not just resources, but a sense of belonging. In this episode of AllBetter, host Joe Van Wie sits down with Attorney Frank Bolock to discuss the Recovery Bank, a beacon of hope for many in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania. With nearly 43 years of experience in civil and criminal law, Frank brings a wealth of knowledge to the table.
But his passion lies in his role as president and CEO of the Treatment Court Advocacy Center and as project director of the Recovery Bank. The Recovery Bank is more than just a resource center; it’s a community hub where individuals in recovery can connect with peers who understand their journey. Frank emphasizes that the key to lasting recovery is connection—body, mind, and spirit.
This holistic approach is reflected in the variety of services offered, from Al-Anon meetings to legal advocacy and even transitional housing for women and children. The transitional housing program is particularly noteworthy. It provides a safe haven for women with children who are navigating the court system, offering them a supportive environment to focus on their recovery without fear of relapse.
The Recovery Bank also sets a standard for ethical practices among paraprofessionals, ensuring that everyone involved is committed to the mission of helping others. What makes the Recovery Bank truly special is the sense of community it fosters. Frank shares how this supportive network helps individuals feel less isolated and more empowered to overcome their addiction.
Whether you're personally affected by addiction or know someone who is, this episode offers invaluable insights into how community support can make all the difference. Tune in to hear Frank's inspiring story and learn more about the incredible work being done at the Recovery Bank.
