His mission is to reduce the negative consequences caused by the criminalization of drug use.
Ever wondered how medication can change the course of addiction recovery? Meet Marc Burrows, a staunch advocate for Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) in South Carolina. In this episode of 'Challenging Pathos', Marc opens up about his personal battle with substance use and how buprenorphine played a pivotal role in his long-term recovery. Now a peer support specialist, Marc dedicates his life to helping others navigate their own recovery journeys through MAT.
Marc's story is more than just a tale of personal triumph; it's a call to action for evidence-based practices and the legalization of all drugs. He believes that criminalizing drug use only exacerbates the problem, and his mission is to reduce the negative consequences of such policies.
Throughout the episode, Marc and hosts Glenn Marshall and Seth Fitzgerald discuss the myriad benefits of MAT, the hurdles of navigating the healthcare system, and the often-overlooked impact of addiction on families and relationships. But it doesn't stop there. The conversation also delves into the stigma surrounding addiction and how peer support can be a game-changer in sustaining recovery. Marc's insights offer hope and inspiration, not just for those grappling with addiction, but also for professionals working in the field.
His message is clear: we need to rethink our approach to addiction and prioritize compassionate, evidence-based practices. As Marc puts it, "We need to meet people where they are and provide them with the support and resources they need to thrive". If you're curious about how Medication-Assisted Treatment can make a difference or want to hear a heartfelt story of recovery and advocacy, this episode of 'Challenging Pathos' is a must-listen.
