PAIN Founder Flindt Andersen and Jason LaChance sat down with special guest Steve Adami executive director of The Way Out, a recovery-focused homeless initiative of The Salvation Army San Francisco.
After spending over two decades in and out of jails and prison my life changed. My recovery and transformation started in a pair of handcuffs. After being released from prison in December 2010, I earned a Master's Degree in Public Administration (Public Policy/Criminal Justice); was inducted into Pi Alpha Alpha, a National Honor Society for Public Affairs and Administration; and received the Barbra Jordan Award for Academic Excellence from San Francisco State University. In 2014 I was hired by the San Francisco Adult Probation Department as a Reentry Services Coordinator, promoted to a managerial position in 2017, and was appointed the Director of the Reentry Division in 2020. In this role I designed and managed a portfolio of 20 million dollars of reentry and recovery-focused programs, and managed San Francisco's Reentry Council and Community Corrections Partnership. In May 2023, I was appointed the Executive Director of The Way Out, a recovery-focused homeless initiative of The Salvation Army. Steve, Flindt and Jason discuss the following topics and more. What is the origins of The Way Out and its services? 01:30 How is The Way Out combating the overwhelming addict issues in San Francisco? 15:00 Why don't the majority of radical harm-reduction advocated supporting abstinence based recovery? 23:00 Why aren't people being told the all the facts about the side effects of long-term harm reduction? 46:00 Why we need to put our efforts behind programs behind that promote abstinence based recovery and independence ? 52:48 For more on Parents & Addicts In Need: If you or a loved ones need our services, to follow on social media, the Don't Hide The Scars Podcast, to get involved, or to donate https://linktr.ee/painnonprofit For more on Flindt Andersen, to have him speak at your organization visit https://www.flindtandersen.com/ For more on Richard Steve Adami and The Way Out:
