In this edition of "The Power of Peers" podcast, Jason Howell, Executive Director of Recovery People in Austin, Texas, and George Braucht, a licensed professional counselor and clinical supervisor and cofounder of the Certified Addiction Recovery Empowerment Specialist Academy, discuss recovery housing—what it is, how it can be an important part of efforts to address the opioid epidemic, and how municipalities and states can foster relationships with quality recovery residences. Both Jason and George are persons in long-term recovery, have experienced working within the criminal justice system, and have served as board members for the National Alliance of Recovery Residences.
