(PLYMOUTH MEETING, PA – September 30, 2024) – Braeburn Inc. today announced the launch of Reframe and Reclaim: Shaping the Future of Recovery Stories, a mini docuseries on BraeburnRx.com aimed at destigmatizing opioid use disorder (OUD) and celebrating the compelling advocacy of community champions. The program features eight inspiring advocates from Philadelphia who are making a significant impact on the community. These dedicated individuals support and uplift those in their recovery journey by meeting individuals where they are.

Opioid use disorder – a chronic, yet treatable, complex disease – requires sustainable public health interventions and collaboration from our community to address the psychological, social, and economic needs that are prevalent with this disease. By highlighting local changemakers, many who have personally struggled with addiction, Reframe and Reclaim aims to increase understanding of the complexity of addiction and empower communities to work together to address different aspects of each individual’s recovery journey.

“It’s critical that we listen to the stories of people in addiction and recovery, as these individuals and their organizations are frequently leading the charge for change and equipped to share what the community needs most,” said Mike Derkacz, President and CEO at Braeburn. “Through the powerful perspectives of brave advocates, the Reframe and Reclaim docuseries highlights how individuals work to uplift the OUD community.”

The advocates featured in Reframe and Reclaim have a unique understanding of the challenges and barriers faced by people with OUD and their loved ones. They share their personal experiences in tackling stigma, discrimination, and lack of access to care that often affect those with this disease. All three episodes of Reframe and Reclaim: Shaping the Future of Recovery Stories, as outlined below, are available on BraeburnRx.com or Braeburn’s YouTube channel.
