To help celebrate and recognize National Recovery Month, we are bringing you another limited-edition month-long podcast series with our Strategic Alliance Partner, UPMC Health Plan.
Welcome to our second episode and our discussion with:
- Rebekah Sedlock, DSW, LCSW, project director of substance use disorder services and recovery, Community Care Behavioral Health, part of the UPMC Insurance Services Division; and
- Mandy Fauble, PhD, LCSW, director of clinical care services, UPMC Western Behavioral Health at Safe Harbor.
In our conversation, we address the complex interplay between mental health conditions and substance use disorders, the innovation behind harm-reduction vending machines, the potential roadblocks Pennsylvania’s Medicaid members may encounter when attempting to access health care treatment for their mental health conditions and substance use disorders, the importance of giving all patients a voice in their treatment to enable them to achieve and sustain recovery, and so much more.
We hope you learn something new from this series, and we look forward to bringing you future episodes. Please tune in each Monday in September for a new episode drop.
