Addiction recovery is not a solitary journey, and support from peers can make all the difference.

In this episode, Matthew Serel, CEO of You Are Accountable, Inc., shares his journey from addiction to long-term recovery and how it inspired him to build a platform offering peer support, toxicology monitoring, and care coordination. He highlights critical gaps in the recovery process, such as fragmented care and poor communication among providers. Matthew emphasizes the power of peer support rooted in lived experience, which helps individuals overcome shame and stay engaged in their recovery. He also discusses the need for collaboration across providers, payers, and peers, and how technology can enhance, not replace, human connection in addiction recovery.

Tune in and learn how peer support and a balanced use of technology can reshape the future of addiction care!
