We fundamentally believe in every single person's capacity to change.
Ever wondered how you can access addiction recovery services without leaving your home? In this episode of 'Friends in Recovery', hosts Jersey Ed, Buckeye Bambi, and Super Beth (or maybe Basement Beth?) chat with David Gerber, the founder of Sober at Home. Gerber's program is all about leveraging telehealth to provide a supportive, group-based recovery experience from the comfort of your own living room.
Sober at Home offers a variety of services, from individual therapy to group sessions available seven days a week. Gerber emphasizes the power of group recovery, where sharing personal stories and struggles can be incredibly healing. It's not just about one-on-one sessions; it's about creating a community that understands and supports each other. The episode also dives into medication-assisted therapies like Vivitrol, an opiate blocker that helps prevent relapse.
Gerber makes it clear that while medications can be helpful, they are not a cure-all. True recovery requires commitment and engagement in multiple forms of support. You'll also hear about the challenges in the addiction recovery field, such as the ever-changing definitions of recovery and the limitations imposed by insurance companies. Gerber stresses the need to meet people where they are and provide them with the tailored services they need to succeed.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in how telehealth and group recovery can offer new avenues for sobriety. With Sober at Home, individuals can find meaningful and purposeful lives without stepping outside their front door. Tune in to hear more about this innovative approach to addiction recovery.
