RECOVERY IS SOMETHING THAT DOESN’T GET A DAY OFF, EVER
The opinion of this weeks guests, based on their daily hands on experience, is that addiction in the United States is sadly becoming the norm. The good news is that if you live in an area that is pro-recovery then you’re more likely to locate state or federally funded programs like the Medication for Opioid Use Disorder Services that are inside the Hampshire County Jail in Northampton, Massachusetts, where incarcerated individuals are treated for their addiction by a team of certified medical professionals. As Dr. Katie, the head of the MOUD in-jail program, in this weeks episode states, ‘….if someone has Diabetes we don’t ask how long they will need to be on medication…we know it’s a forever treatment….the same should be the norm for those who are suffering from drug or alcohol addition…’. As this weeks topic relays, recovery is something that doesn’t get a day off, ever.
