Shaking Up the SUD Industry: Voices for Change

We began aligning our interests and over time we ended up working in concert with each other and people were actually getting better.
Ever feel like the system's rigged against those seeking help for substance use disorders? You're not alone. In this thought-provoking episode of 'Scope of Practice', Jamelia Hand from Chicago and Kapil Nayar from Philadelphia team up to tackle some tough questions. They argue that the goals set by providers often miss the mark, failing to consider the unique needs of each individual. This one-size-fits-all approach can put too much pressure on clients and doesn't always lead to successful outcomes.
But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Hand and Nayar also shed light on the alarming lack of oversight in the mental health market. With operations running unchecked, it’s no wonder many people feel let down by the system. They also highlight the absence of solid outcome measures, making it hard to gauge what’s working and what’s not. The duo doesn't shy away from criticizing the homogenization of care either.
When every organization follows the same script, it creates a loop that brings people back to square one. Hand and Nayar believe that real change requires courage—courage to speak out and to challenge the status quo. If you're passionate about making a difference in the SUD industry, this episode is a must-listen. So, are you ready to upset the applecart and drive positive change? Tune in and get inspired by these two trailblazers who aren't afraid to rock the boat.
