Bridging the Gap: A Holistic Approach to Recovery with CLASS
This episode of Recovery Live Global features an interview with Dr. Carla from the CLASS agency in Detroit. They discuss CLASS's community-based approach to behavioral health, focusing on outreach, prevention, early intervention, and recovery support services, including a 24-hour wellness line. Dr. Carla emphasizes the importance of "bridging the gap" for individuals facing barriers to accessing care, like transportation and stigma, and the need for a holistic approach that considers the whole person and their family. The conversation also touches on the challenges faced by vulnerable communities, the role of peer recovery coaches, and the importance of partnerships in addressing complex needs.
