So when we talk about these critical events that are bringing you into the radar of heroes and bringing you into treatment. Is we are wired to not have pain be something that we remember.
Picture yourself in a bustling conference hall in San Antonio, Texas, where the 45th Annual TAAP Conference brought together experts and advocates to tackle one of the most pressing issues of our time: opioid use disorders. In this episode of 'Recovery Coast to Coast', host Neil Scott takes you through the highlights of the keynote presentation, which focused on treating opioid use disorders with courage, choice, and collaboration.
You’ll hear from a peer support specialist who shares her journey of recovery and how she helps others navigate their own paths. Her story underscores the power of peer support, revealing how it often outshines traditional counseling or sponsorships in effectiveness. She also presents eye-opening statistics showing that over 80% of individuals who relapse reach out to their recovery coach for help. Another compelling segment features a discussion on medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorders.
While there's some debate about the added value of counseling alongside MAT, the consensus remains that a combined approach is ideal. The episode also dives into the crucial role of law enforcement partnerships in combating the opioid crisis. Speakers highlight how police departments can identify those in need and connect them with resources, turning emergency departments into critical points for immediate care. The conference covered a broad spectrum of topics, from harm reduction to critical time intervention and counseling.
The overarching message? Collaboration is key. By working together, we can make significant strides in addressing the opioid epidemic. Tune in to this episode for a blend of expert insights, personal stories of recovery, and practical strategies for tackling opioid use disorders.
