Opening Episode: Recovery is the Expectation: Introducing Recovery Ecosystem Radio

In this opening episode, host Tony White shares part of his own recovery journey and introduces the heart of the podcast: what it takes for whole communities to become places where recovery is not the exception; it is the expectation. The episode defines a recovery ecosystem, explores Health, Home, Purpose, and Community, and highlights the role of lived experience, peer leadership, warm handoffs, recovery housing, pre-arrest deflection and diversion, reentry, and community connection in building long-term recovery. Listen in and join us as we begin the conversation about building recovery-ready communities where people do not have to recover alone.

Episode 3: Policy, Peers, and the Connective Tissue of Recovery

Tony White sits down with Dona Dmitrovic, Acting Director of the Office of Recovery at SAMHSA, to explore how policy, services, and lived experience can work together to support long-term recovery. This episode looks at SAMHSA’s Four Dimensions of Recovery — Health, Home, Purpose, and Community — and how communities can build the “connective tissue” people need: no-wrong-door access, warm handoffs, full-circle follow-through, quality recovery housing, and peer support. Listen in for a conversation about turning recovery from an individual journey into a community-supported recovery pathway.
