In 1982, the Scranton family, the founders of the City of Scranton, donated their summer residence in Waverly, PA to a Geisinger Affiliate to become Marworth treatment center. In 1982, Nick became the president of Marworth. At at that time he designed it to build a freestanding family residence there of 20 beds. The treatment center had a 72 beds for drug and alcohol treatment. He also designed and opened up an adolescent Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center with 60 beds on Shawnee on the Delaware and Pennsylvania for more with in 1989. By 1989, Marworth was recognized as one of the top 20 rehabs in the Country to attend, that is out of about 4500 facilities that operated in the US at that time.Nick designed and developed a 60 bed treatment center, Tully Hill Treatment Center in Syracuse, New York.

We talk about this prolific career, which will be coming up on 50 years, and all the changes that have happened in drug and alcohol treatment. Some of the changes for good, some for ehhhhh, and some driven by technology. . One specific topic we talk about is "Medication Assisted Treatments." And, for lack of a better term, maybe stigmas in Recovery Communities that existed, or fundamental definitions of recovery, that people in the last four decades had to loosen their grip on, and Nick experienced this firsthand of how these became life saving medications, and wider paths to recovery for individuals. We do a kind of a deep dive on MAT, and I learned a lot, that was the point of this podcast to "learn in real time". So I hope you enjoy the discussion. Support the show

Donald McDonald of All Sober and Rich talk about Donald's years of activism in the addiction/recovery space and how his frustrations with the system have led him to All Sober. Listen as they take a peek under the hood of All Sober set to launch in October. Good stuff happening here!Donald's BIO:I am a person thriving in recovery from severe mental & substance use disorders since 2004. I call myself a Recovery Activist because I understand that people experiencing mental & substance use disorders face discriminatory barriers to freedom and wellness – that the Recovery Movement is a social justice movement. I leverage my privilege & recovery status along with my clinical knowledge about substance use disorders, policy advocacy, and systems change to help rural and underserved communities create innovative programs and embrace many pathways of recovery. My background includes being a consumer of services, a provider of clinical services in multiple settings, a health policy advocate, and a Recovery Community leader. Previously, I served as the National Field Director of Faces & Voices of Recovery, the Executive Director of Addiction Professionals of North Carolina, and the Director of Advocacy & Education of Recovery Communities of North Carolina.Husband, father, grandfather, veteran, musician, and just another bozo on the bus -- views are mine.About the company:All Sober is an exciting new company that has been created to provide the millions of Americans suffering from addiction and their loved ones with all the connections, information and resources they need as they journey through recovery and into sober life; to end the stigma and shame of addiction; to inspire people in recovery to sustain sober lives and celebrate sobriety; and to help fund treatment for those who can't afford it. All Sober is a Public Benefit Company and a portion of all earnings will be donated to the All Sober Foundation and used to benefit the public by helping to fund treatment.We are proud to announce that Microsoft has committed to supporting All Sober's mission in numerous ways — including with technology, product sales, marketing, sponsorship and PR initiatives. Microsoft will also help leverage relationships with companies to create opportunities for All Sober, involve All Sober as an addiction recovery partner in their social impact initiatives, and support the company as it launches in 2021.On behalf of everyone involved, we invite you to become part of All Sober in any way that you can — whether it's investing your time, talent and even your financial resources.
