Description
Why and how do we address recovery in Elijah Rising Restorative Care?In this episode, Jessica Gobble, Elijah Rising’s Recovery Specialist, explains how addiction feeds trafficking and trafficking feeds addiction. Traffickers have learned that they are able to make more profit off of an exploited individual when they exploit them in multiple ways. For instance, if a trafficker coerces a woman into transporting drugs across the border, distributing them, and then engaging in prostitution, they generate more profit compared to solely exploiting them for sex. This overlap between addiction and trafficking is prevalent for numerous reasons. Jessica also discusses:The distinction between forced and voluntary drug use, and their distinct impacts on individuals.The significance of medical detox and its role in the recovery process.The importance of empowering individuals to direct their own healing journey and providing support as allies.
