I think a lot of the things that are said in the rooms get passed down and get passed down, and get passed down like don't date Your First Year or blah, blah, blah, blah. So I'm not going to discuss chemo with anybody, because I don't believe in it.
What does 'recovery' truly mean? Joe Schrank and Amy Dresner get to the heart of this question with their guest, Tom Coderre, a former state senator from Rhode Island and the Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Mental Health and Substance Use at SAMHSA. In this engaging episode of 'Rehab Confidential', the trio dives into SAMHSA's definition of recovery and the alarming rise in overdose deaths.
Coderre, who previously appeared with Schrank in 'The Anonymous People', brings a wealth of experience and insight to the table. They discuss everything from the role of AA in addiction treatment to alternative pain management strategies. The conversation doesn't stop there. They also explore how addiction treatment can be better integrated into primary care, the critical role of connection in recovery, and the importance of prevention services.
The Surgeon General's report on alcohol, drugs, and health is examined, shedding light on the broader political landscape of addiction treatment. Schrank and Dresner's unique blend of professional expertise and personal experience adds depth and humor to this vital discussion. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of addiction and recovery.
