You are in recovery if you say you are, and I think for something spiritual it's better to have a philosophy than a definition.
Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of one of the nation's leading Recovery Community Organizations? In this episode of 'Recovery Matters! Podcast', you'll get an inside look at the Connecticut Community for Addiction Recovery (CCAR). Hosted by Don Smith and Tom Russo, the episode features an engaging conversation with Executive Director Phil Valentine. Phil shares his personal journey and how he became a driving force in the recovery movement.
They dive into CCAR's origins, its philosophy on recovery, and the impactful programs they’ve developed over the years. One highlight is the emergency department recovery coach program, which focuses on enhancing communication skills to better support those in recovery. Another initiative, the core trainer program, helps spread CCAR's methods far and wide. The discussion also touches on CCAR's national and international influence, showcasing their continuous growth and dedication to learning.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the power of community in addiction recovery. It's informative, heartfelt, and offers a glimpse into the tireless work that goes into supporting recovery journeys.
