Casey Dillon: Breaking Barriers in Addiction Treatment and Advocacy

I think you just have to reallocate the money and I think that's a sensitive topic right now. But I think that there will still be people who their only access is to get things. Unfortunately, but personally I think harm reduction makes the absolute most sense.
Ever wondered how digital communication can change the landscape of addiction treatment? Casey Dillon, a seasoned digital communicator, sheds light on this very topic in an engaging episode of 'Challenging Pathos'. As the Program Director for Advocates for Opioid Recovery, Casey has dedicated her career to advocating for harm reduction and evidence-based approaches to substance use disorders.
In this episode, she dives into the complexities of federal advocacy, discussing the hurdles and opportunities that come with promoting medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and diversion programs. Casey also tackles the persistent stigma surrounding mental health and substance use disorders, highlighting the importance of breaking down these barriers to improve access to treatment.
She emphasizes the need for a more conservative and free-market approach to federal funding for substance use treatment, arguing that such a strategy could lead to more effective and widespread solutions. Whether you're interested in the intricacies of drug policy or looking for inspiration in the fight against addiction, Casey's insights offer a compelling and thought-provoking listen. Tune in to understand how digital advocacy can pave the way for a brighter future in addiction treatment.
