The Struggle Alone
So often the battle for an addict to find help to overcome their addiction is barricaded behind a complex process of red tape, time, and finances; the very things addicts struggle to overcome and manage. Often the addict has a very small window of willingness to seek help and during that time lacks the ability to navigate the process to get there and the funds to continue when
they do arrive. While it is the bare bones of the struggle that proves to be freeing for the addict, one way or another, the road to get there requires important resources that get overlooked in society’s modern way of life. Kath’s Freedom Bridge exists to help alleviate the burden of finding the navigational beacons to recovery. Bridging the Gap
We believe everyone should have the opportunity to find and cross the Freedom Bridge. We also believe, as important as it is for the addict to cross, their families should be afforded the same opportunity. Recovery does not end with cessation, it’s where it begins. In our experience we have found the resources for the addict end around the time the journey starts, which becomes very difficult. Most programs are covered by insurance or other resources for what they consider “maximum time” but in reality it is very “minimal time.” This is where we have witnessed the most frustration and failure. We found ourselves trying to make sense of how an addict of 10 years could be “recovered” in thirty, sixty or even 90 days when funding and resources on average end there. If the addict or their families do not have a private means of support, they are limited in the resources available to them.
