Welcome to Stories of Substances — a podcast brought to you by IBH Addiction Recovery. In our first season, we explore drug and alcohol addiction treatment from the perspective of the professionals who provide the life-saving programs and services that make recovery possible.
In the latest episode of Stories of Substance, IBH Addiction Recovery CEO Jess Rist sits down with Judge Joy Malek Oldfield, presiding judge of Turning Point, Summit County’s adult felony drug court program.
Judge Oldfield shares how Turning Point combines accountability, treatment, and community support to help people make meaningful changes. She also discusses the importance of residential treatment, IBH Addiction Recovery’s partnership with Turning Point, and why long-term support can make such a difference in recovery.
As Judge Oldfield explains, accountability does not have to be about punishment. Sometimes, consequences can be therapeutic and create an opportunity for change.
