I didn't get clean to be miserable, right?
Ever thought about how the heroin crisis is reshaping communities, especially in New England? In this eye-opening episode of 'ROACHE on RECOVERY', the hosts tackle the harsh realities of the heroin epidemic and the ongoing reforms in drug treatment across the United States. They kick off by shedding light on how the high cost of prescription painkillers is pushing young people toward street heroin, leading to a surge in infections like HIV and Hepatitis C from needle sharing.
It's a stark reminder of the law of supply and demand at work in the most tragic way. The conversation then shifts to the evolving landscape of drug treatment. The hosts dive into the complexities, from the lack of transitional housing to government policies that shape treatment duration and methods. They also highlight recovery residences, which offer a unique supportive environment for those in recovery.
One intriguing segment features David Deitch, co-founder of Daytop, who is delving into brain studies to find ways to mitigate the damage addiction inflicts on the brain. This research could pave the way for groundbreaking treatments. The episode wraps up with a powerful message: recovery is within reach, but it requires personal responsibility. As one host puts it, 'I didn't get clean to be miserable'.
If you're grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers both hope and practical insights. Tune in for a candid discussion that doesn't shy away from the tough questions.
