It seems like every family has been affected by substance abuse in some capacity. For many of us, it's a parent, spouse, child, or even a friend who has suffered from drug or alcohol addiction. Seeing firsthand the effects of addiction, though, often encourages us to help our loved ones be a guiding light for those lost in the darkness of addiction.  Recovery advocacy is about being the voice for those who can't speak for themselves. And this is precisely what led our guests to dedicate a lifetime to fighting for the policies that ensure everyone has access to the proper treatment they need. Sherri Layton, LCDC, CCS, AADC, began working in addiction treatment in 1977. Sherri didn't initially set out to pursue recovery advocacy as her lifetime passion. But when she landed her summer job at the Houston International Hospital working on the drugs and alcohol substance unit, she instantly knew she wanted to make a difference in people's lives.   In 1992, Sherri began working for La Hacienda Treatment Center. Now, she is semi-retired, acting as the coordinator for La Hacienda's advocacy efforts, and is a powerhouse regarding recovery advice. She serves both statewide and nationally as Director of Public Policy and is Co-Chair of NAADAC's Public Policy Committee. She also serves on NAATP's Public Policy Committee and is on the Board of Directors for Texas' Association of Substance Abuse Programs.   In this conversation, Sherri and George Joseph discuss the importance of advocacy in addiction recovery, including the impact of laws like the federal parity law, the value of building relationships with legislators, and bridging the gap for new advocates and counselors. They both offer actionable insights for those interested in becoming addiction counselors or getting involved in advocacy, ultimately aiming to inspire more professionals to join and support the cause. Topics Discussed: Encouraging individuals to become recovery advocates and LCDCs Navigating the challenges and gaps in our medical system  Current Issues and Legislative Efforts for Recovery Advocacy Why relationships matter in helping individuals seek treatment Ways to help restore families from the disease of addiction  Connect with us on Social:   IG: https://www.instagram.com/positiverecoverymd/  FB: https://www.facebook.com/groups/positiverecoverymd/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@positiverecoverycenter  YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4JcDF1gjlYch4V4iBbCgZg Additional Links: Want to receive the daily Positive Intervention from Dr. Powers' Positive Recovery Daily Guide?
