We’re SO excited to kick off this new series! 🥳

Maybe substance use disorder isn’t something you personally relate to—but the truth is, we all have something we can work on. Whether it’s food, phones, shopping, or something else…there’s always room for growth.

We can’t wait to learn, grow, and challenge ourselves together through this series! 💬✨

Podcast Poll Question:

Ask Katie Anything!
Katie has dedicated her life to helping others who struggle with addiction. Ask her anything about her experience in the field!

She also recently opened Recover & Thrive Health Services, LLC, providing MAT and recovery support services to individuals seeking help with substance use disorder. Medication assisted treatment often gets a bad rap, but the data shows that overdose risk decreases and an individual’s quality of life improves as a result of the treatment. Why are there mixed reviews/emotions on MAT treatment and what can a provider do to make sure it’s used in a safe and effective way?

We are so excited to have Katie Creighton on Monday’s episode of Real Recovery Conversations Podcast! Katie has over 10 years of experience working in mental health, substance abuse and recovery services and she serves on the Robertson County Recovery Court Foundation Board. Most recently, she founded Recover & Thrive Health Services, LLC!

We can’t wait to talk to Katie on the podcast Monday & pick her brain on all her experience and learn more about Recover & Thrive!

For episode 20, we are talking about sobriety through the holiday season. Our poll question we’d love feedback on is:
What are the most helpful tools/best resources for someone to utilize to protect their sobriety through the holiday season?

While Althea Sickel was away, Kendall Neal & Meagan Smith Williamson were left unsupervised in the podcast studio…and thus, this masterpiece episode was recorded! 😜🤩👏

In all seriousness, treatment courts get compared to probation all the time so we thought it was really important to do an episode that helps folks understand how the two are similar but also how they are different! Both are vital to public safety & help so many people turn their lives around, and thankfully we have fantastic probation offices/officers in the Robertson County community (and we are big fans of the Robertson County Recovery Court too) 😉

Like & share the episode & follow our page (please and thank you)! 🫶
