The Recovery Platform, Triad Behavioral Resources, and North Carolina Medical Society Foundation Launch Coalition to Break Barriers to Substance Use Recovery
Wilmington, NC – May 30th, 2024 – The Recovery Platform (TRP), a Substance Use Disorder (SUD) specific platform that facilitates and guides patient compliance and engagement in Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT), and Triad Behavioral Resources, PC (TBR), a counseling and opioid use disorder treatment-focused medical practice, have partnered with the North Carolina Medical Society Foundation to establish the coalition Breaking Barriers to Substance Use Recovery (Breaking Barriers).
The mission of Breaking Barriers is to address and dismantle the numerous obstacles that prevent individuals from accessing adequate treatment for substance use disorders. The coalition aims to bring forth education and awareness, targeting the pervasive barriers such as treatment availability, work/stigma issues, transportation problems, , judicial impediments, and more. By tackling these challenges head-on, Breaking Barriers strives to ensure that those seeking help can do so without encountering additional hindrances.
The current landscape of substance use recovery is fraught with barriers that have exacerbated the epidemic over recent years, with predictions indicating further growth if these issues remain unaddressed. Breaking Barriers's efforts are crucial in reversing this trend, providing a clearer path to treatment for individuals and veterans seeking recovery. “We are committed to breaking down the barriers that impede access to essential treatment,” says Reynold Yordy, CTO of The Recovery Platform. “Through this coalition, we are fostering a supportive environment where individuals can seek the help they need without additional burdens.”
The coalition has already garnered interest from multiple organizations eager to join the cause, recognizing that eliminating these barriers is vital to combating the epidemic that has impacted so many lives.
