Über diesen Titel
In this narrated commentary, Brandon Burley reflects on his recent opinion piece examining why addiction impacts every community—but recovery resources often do not.
Drawing from reporting in East Tennessee, the episode explores how smaller cities like Oak Ridge experience the same pressures as larger urban centers—substance misuse, fractured families, and relapse—without the same concentration of treatment, visibility, or long-term recovery infrastructure.
The discussion highlights First Recovery in Oak Ridge as an example of sustained, community-based support that goes beyond short-term intervention, connecting people and families to accountability, structure, and practical help. The episode also addresses broader regional data on addiction, homelessness, and overdose deaths, and why recovery efforts cannot remain centralized if communities want meaningful public safety outcomes.
This episode is part of Season 4: Narrated Journalism, where published reporting is paired with context, reflection, and practitioner insight for educators, justice professionals, and community members.
