We need to end the discrimination within our society, and I think that there's a lot more education that needs to be done.
What happens when addiction treatment isn't given the same importance as other health issues? In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods sits down with Chris Crosby, CEO of The Watershed Addiction Treatment Programs, Inc., to tackle this pressing issue. With decades of experience in addiction treatment, Chris brings a wealth of knowledge and a passionate voice for Recovery Advocacy.
They discuss the glaring disparities in healthcare coverage for addiction treatment and the urgent need for systemic change. Chris shares his journey from nursing to becoming a leading advocate for addiction recovery, shedding light on the importance of education and advocacy in ending stigma. They dive into the role of lobbying efforts and how they can transform lives by improving access to care.
Whether you're directly affected by addiction or looking to understand the broader challenges in the field, this episode offers a compelling look at what needs to be done to achieve true parity in addiction treatment.
