Unfortunately, there are many barriers to treatment for hepatitis C...having an addiction, although it is a disease process, is still not recognized as one.
Imagine battling both addiction and a serious liver disease. That's the reality for many, and it's what Melissa Callahan and Kevin Morales dive into on this episode of 'Recovery Radio'. Melissa, a dedicated nurse practitioner, and Kevin, a resilient hepatitis C survivor, come together to shed light on the often-overlooked link between substance abuse and hepatitis C.
They talk about the hurdles people face in getting tested and treated, debunk common myths, and stress the importance of seeing addiction as a disease. Kevin's personal journey from contracting hepatitis C to achieving sobriety is a testament to the transformative power of recovery. Whether you're struggling with addiction, know someone who is, or just want to understand more about these intertwined issues, this episode offers hope and practical advice for navigating the road to healing.
