The entire system is broken...the oversight in California is non-existent...the insurance money...I wish I could change.
Picture a world where those seeking recovery are met with unsafe, unregulated rehab facilities. In this compelling episode of 'Safe Recovery', host Monica Richardson teams up with Wendy McEntyre, a passionate victims' advocate, to tackle the grim realities of the rehab industry. Wendy's heartbreaking story begins with the loss of her 23-year-old son, Jarrod, who died in a so-called 'safe' sober living home.
This tragedy spurred her to create Jarrod's Law, aiming to bring accountability and oversight to addiction treatment centers and sober living homes. Throughout the episode, Monica and Wendy delve into the rampant corruption and negligence plaguing the rehab industry. They discuss how many facilities operate without proper regulation, putting vulnerable individuals at risk.
With a focus on legislative efforts like HR 4684, the Ensuring Access to Quality Sober Living Act of 2018, they highlight the urgent need for reforms that would require sober living homes to report deaths and adhere to stricter standards. Wendy's advocacy work is a beacon of hope for those navigating the treacherous waters of addiction recovery. Her tireless efforts emphasize not just the need for safer environments but also the importance of alternative healing approaches.
Whether you're personally affected by addiction or know someone who is, this episode sheds light on critical issues and offers a call to action for listeners to demand change. Monica's empathetic interviewing style and Wendy's heartfelt testimony make for a powerful discussion that will leave you both informed and inspired. If you've ever questioned the safety of rehab facilities or are passionate about advocating for better practices, this episode is a must-listen.
