Ever wondered what really goes on behind the doors of recovery housing? In this episode of The Recovery First Addiction Recovery Podcast, host Mike Todd pulls back the curtain on an industry plagued by a lack of oversight and regulation. With no certification processes in place, vulnerable individuals often find themselves at the mercy of unscrupulous operators.
Mike dives into the pressing issues of exploitation and abuse within recovery housing, offering a candid look at the systemic problems that need urgent attention. He also sheds light on the proposed South Carolina bill aimed at introducing a voluntary certification process, a step toward much-needed reform. But it’s not all about challenges; Mike discusses the potential for positive change and the importance of recovery housing operators being actively involved in policy-making.
He highlights how lived and worked experience can make a significant difference in creating supportive environments for those in recovery. Stigma and discrimination are also on the table, as Mike explores how these factors impact recovery housing and the role of medically assisted treatment in these settings. If you’re curious about how recovery housing can evolve to better serve its residents, this episode is a must-listen.
Mike’s insights offer a blend of hard truths and hopeful possibilities, making it an eye-opening experience for anyone interested in addiction recovery.
