I love being able to get on addict and alcoholics level, because I've been there and people open up to me pretty easily and with my navigator experience I have a lot of resources, so I kind of know the ropes.
What does it take to help someone find their way back from addiction? In this episode of 'Recovery On-Air', hosts Donna and Beth sit down with the dedicated members of the Crossroads Aftercare Team: Clay Boettcher, Jennifer Gentry, Kyle Kresse, and Carlee Peterson. Each team member opens up about their personal battles with addiction and how these experiences fuel their passion for supporting others on their recovery journeys. Their stories are raw, honest, and deeply inspiring.
They talk about the differences between intensive outpatient (IOP) and outpatient (OP) programs, shedding light on what these treatments entail and how they impact recovery. The team shares the challenges they face, from managing clients with probation officers to helping those who struggle to stay engaged in treatment. Despite these hurdles, they recount heartwarming success stories of clients who have turned their lives around.
The conversation also touches on the impact of COVID-19 on addiction and recovery, emphasizing the increased need for support and resources during these times. A significant part of the discussion revolves around codependency and the importance of healthy relationships. The team members reflect on their own experiences with codependency and how they have learned to balance their personal recovery journeys with their professional roles.
They offer valuable advice on building a sense of self and encouraging clients to pursue activities that foster independence and growth. By the end of the episode, listeners will gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of addiction recovery and the vital role of community support. This episode is a testament to the resilience and dedication of the Crossroads Aftercare Team, leaving you with a renewed sense of hope and appreciation for those who work tirelessly to support recovery.
