Opioid withdrawal symptoms can be horrific including nausea and vomiting, anxiety, insomnia, muscle pain, hot and cold flashes, just to name a few. They are so debilitating that some people return to drug use just to alleviate the physical pain. Vaughn Bell of Speranza Therapeutics tells us about a new device called the S.T. Genesis that helps with these symptoms. The S.T. Genesis is an FDA-cleared Percutaneous Nerve Field Stimulator (PNFS) that supports the reduction of opioid withdrawal symptoms by targeting the areas of the brain responsible for pain and anxiety. The lightweight device is applied to the outer ear and administers treatment for 120 hours (5 days) helping the patient during the most critical time as they reduce or stop opioid use.Vaughn Bell, MDiv, has been dedicated to the addiction and mental health industry for all of her 35 years in the behavioral health industry. Following her graduation from Samford University with a degree in Psychology she completed her Masters of Divinity in Pastoral Counseling from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. While working on her Master's degree, Ms. Bell worked in inpatient treatment settings with Adolescent substance abuse patients and found her passion in helping others find help from addiction, trauma, and mental health issues. After receiving certifications in alcohol and drug counseling and marriage and family therapy Ms. Bell worked in a number of psychiatric hospitals within the National Medical Enterprise and Charter Behavioral Health System working directly with clients in counseling and ultimately overseeing the hospital admissions functions, outpatient services, and ultimately marketing and business development. She spent the next 10 years overseeing marketing in sales over multiple hospitals across the country, growing to an oversight of 25 facilities while at Charter Behavioral Health across the Southeast and Midwest.As her career expanded over the next 20 years, Ms. Bell has overseen the marketing and business development functions at multiple companies including Behavioral healthcare corporation, Springstone, Elements Behavioral Health, Odyssey Behavioral Health, Landmark Recovery, and Pinnacle Treatment Centers. Her national footprint across the country gives her an extensive network and knowledge of the Treatment field and she is well-versed in census management and has led multiple sales teams to achieve and surpass census and EBIDTA goals year after year while assuring clinically sound care is delivered to all patients. Ms. Bell's healthcare experience also encompasses several years in the health insurance industry working in Operations as the Account Service Director at Humana, as well as a stint as the Chief Marketing Officer of InnovaTel Telepsychiatry. Ms. Bell's broad experience across the healthcare spectrum makes her uniquely qualified to lead business development and sales efforts in her role as SVP of Growth Strategy with Speranza. Ms. Bell was immediately drawn to the innovative treatment approach afforded to opioid patients with the S.T.Genesis and is able to use her extensive clinical knowledge and national network to bring a new and exciting detox device to help relieve the pain and suffering of those she has worked for 30 years to help find recovery. She brings a knowledge of both treatment and successful recovery to her passion for the patients and families we serve.

Our host, Michael Walsh, spoke with old friend Brian Scannell about his time in Boston and achieving recovery. Brian Scannell brings 35+ years of personal experience in the recovery community as well as a successful background in IT sales and entertainment. Brian's top priority is to help as many people as possible find the appropriate help they need to achieve their best life possible. He often uses the expression “don't think about what's possible, think about what's impossible and go for that." Brian is the success story of a 19 year old alcoholic/addict who, through residential treatment, attending a Half Way House and armed with a RECOVERY PLAN has lived a full life. Brian is also known for his work in Gone Baby Gone (2007), The Master (2012) and Pineapple Express (2008). Brian holds a Bachelors Degree in International Business with a Minor in International Relations from UMass Boston. Born and raised in West Roxbury, MA, Brian began his journey in recovery at Spofford Hall in NH followed by 6 months at The Answer House in South Boston. Brian's ‘get well' job was lumping fish off the boats on the docks in South Boston. As a result of Brian's strong work ethic, a friend's father secured him an apprenticeship at the IBEW Local 103 in Dorchester, MA where he worked as an Electrician's Apprentice obtaining his Journeyman's license in 4 years. Always wanting to regain the College Education that addiction stole from him, Brian worked his way through UMass Boston graduating in 1997. Brian's true life's work is helping others. Seeing this in him, the CEO at Elements Behavioral Health gave him an opportunity to work in the SUD treatment field. After 3 years at EBH, now Promises Behavioral Health, he went to work for Acadia Healthcare. In January 2021 Brian left Acadia Healthcare and started his own Behavioral Health consulting business, The Scannell Group. Today, The Scannell Group is successful and Brian is a recurring on Starz series Heels. Brian can also be seen in the feature film Last Seen Alive starring Gerard Butler.
