Root Center for Advanced Recovery’s Post

Despite the progress made in expanding the availability of behavioral health services, there are still issues getting vulnerable populations access to addiction treatment. How can we make sure treatment is available to everyone – from the elderly, unhoused, and minorities to the uninsured, justice involved, and LBGTQIA+? To answer this question, we’ve gathered two of the industry’s biggest advocates: Dr. Yngvild Olsen, MD MPH, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)’s Director of the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) and Dr. R. Corey Waller MD, MS DFASAM, MD, MS, DFASAM, BrightView’s Chief Medical Officer and editor in chief of the ASAM Criteria. Join our special guests tomorrow at 12:00pm to discuss this critical issue and learn how you can help address it. Attendees will learn how: • Systemic barriers and social determinants of health impact vulnerable populations • Challenges differ based on each segment’s specific vulnerabilities • You can provide more effective treatment by understanding this issue • What can be done to help bridge these gaps.

🚨 Red Flags to Watch for When Choosing a Treatment Center 🚨 As someone deeply involved in the world of addiction recovery, I want to share an important red flag to keep in mind when searching for a treatment center: no staff page on the website. When a treatment center doesn't showcase its team, it raises questions. Often, this can mean the website is merely a funnel, sending leads to multiple facilities without any transparency about who will actually be providing care. Choosing the right treatment is deeply personal, and you deserve to know who the professionals are behind the service. The staff page is essential—it's where you can see the qualifications, experience, and expertise of those who will be guiding you or your loved one through recovery. Transparency matters, and it's a key indicator of a center's credibility and genuine care. Do your homework, ask questions, and be cautious when websites leave out critical information. #CommunityIsOurMethod #RecoveryJourney #AddictionRecovery #TransparencyMatters #TreatmentCenter #RedFlags #Counseling

Addiction affects everyone differently, and women often face unique challenges on the path to recovery. A women’s residential treatment center provides gender-specific care, addressing these unique needs with compassion and expertise. 🖤 Why gender-specific care matters: ◼️ Tailored Treatment: Women’s programs consider the distinct ways addiction impacts women—be it in severity, substance of choice, or emotional health. ◼️ Increased Comfort: A women-only environment can foster openness, especially for those with past trauma or motherhood challenges. ◼️ Shared Experiences: Group counseling with other women can enhance support and understanding, making recovery more relatable and effective. If you’re seeking a safe, empathetic environment to begin or continue your recovery journey, contact Horizon Treatment Services today to learn more about our women’s residential treatment options. #HorizonServices #Sobriety #MentalHealth #Addiction #BayArea #Recovery
