Description:

Tune in to www.acceleratedradio.net this Wednesday from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM as we listen to an insightful episode of HealthWATCH, focused on "The R95 Initiative: Treating the Untreated." We're pleased to host two distinguished guests, William Tarkanian, Chief Strategy Officer, and Ashley Weinberger, Harm Reduction Manager, who will assist us in examining this significant initiative intended to revolutionize Substance Use Disorder (SUD) treatment systems.

The R95 Initiative is a pioneering approach tailored not just for those already seeking help, but importantly, to reach the 95% of individuals with SUDs who are currently not accessing treatment. Its primary focus lies on outreach and engagement and establishing low barrier care. The current SUD systems cater to only about 5% of those in need.

The R95 Initiative aspires to alter this scenario by adopting strategies that engage and support a wider audience. We'll be discussing the challenges, the strategy behind the R95 Initiative, and how it plans to offer comprehensive solutions through its two focused areas and six incentive options. This enlightening dialogue promises to shift the perception and treatment of substance use disorders.
