Shatterproof: Transforming Addiction Treatment with Transparency and Care

But when you take somebody's humanity away and you're shaming them for using a tool to potentially help aid them to get onto a road of recovery, it just shows we got a long way to go, but it is getting better.
What if there was a way to know exactly which addiction treatment facilities were truly effective? In this episode of 'Stigmatized', Trevor Steinhauser sits down with Samantha Arsenault, the Vice President of National Treatment Quality Initiatives for Shatterproof, a nonprofit dedicated to reversing America's addiction crisis. Samantha shares her pivotal role in spearheading ATLAS, a groundbreaking quality measurement system for addiction treatment centers.
This initiative combines traditional healthcare metrics with innovative crowd-sourcing and consumer reviews to bring clarity and transparency to the quality of care provided. With support from major foundations and health plans, ATLAS aims to empower those affected by substance use disorders to make informed treatment choices, improve the quality of care through feedback loops, and provide policymakers with data-driven insights. Samantha also discusses Shatterproof's broader mission to reduce stigma and increase access to high-quality addiction treatment.
Whether you're personally impacted by addiction or interested in the latest advancements in treatment, this episode offers valuable insights into how Shatterproof is making a difference.
