Danielle's Story

Voices In Recovery Podcast

This week's guest, Danielle stops by and shares her incredible journey with us. She is a harm reduction advocate yet after sitting with her, getting to know her even just a little bit, it is obvious that she is a human advocate. She not only hopes for, but works towards a more compassionate and tolerant world in which people don't have to be further shamed in order to obtain help. She is a strong advocate for alternative treatment options other than the twelve step models. Her experience within some of these programs sheds light on the potential and often darker side of things. This dark side is equally as real as the life saving capabilities of any potential program. We get into it about forced treatment under the guise of compassionate intervention and neither of us believe it is the way forward. Thank you so much Danielle.
