Some people don't know the resources that we have and they don't have the information. So I just want them to know that there is help, that there's people that are willing to help and there's people that love what they do.
Ever wondered how addiction support services actually reach those in need? This episode of 'Your Bridge to Addiction Resources' gives you an insider's look at the Council on Chemical Abuse (COCA) in Berks County. Meet Anais Clemente, the dedicated Intake & Benefits Coordinator who works directly with uninsured and underinsured individuals seeking treatment. Anais shares her journey from a college student to a passionate advocate for addiction recovery, even changing her major to addiction studies.
She reveals the nuts and bolts of helping people apply for medical assistance, emphasizing the importance of having more bilingual professionals in the field. The episode also highlights Esperanza ParaBerks, an event aimed at educating the Spanish-speaking community about addiction and available resources. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, this episode is packed with practical information and heartfelt stories that show you're not alone.
Tune in to learn about the invaluable resources COCA provides and how they make a difference in people's lives every day.
