HealthWatch with Lloyd Jackson ~ Substance Abuse Rehabilitation (One of Three)

Episode Summary

Jan 8, 2026 ~ Addiction treatment is entering a new era of personalization. Lloyd Jackson spotlights Henry Ford Maplegrove Addiction Treatment Center and Dr. Joshua Smith, a physician specializing in addiction medicine, who is redefining recovery through individualized care and virtual support. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, Maplegrove crafts treatment plans around each patient’s unique needs—considering factors like work schedules, transportation, and family responsibilities. This philosophy emphasizes partnership, combining medical visits, therapy, and community resources such as AA and NA with innovative virtual care options that remove barriers to engagement. Dr. Smith explains that recovery isn’t a quick fix or a single stay in rehab—it’s an ongoing process. Patients often remain connected for years, supported by therapists, peer recovery coaches, and online meetings that make help accessible anytime, anywhere. For those who feel they’re “not sick enough” for rehab, Dr. Smith offers reassurance: if you’re questioning whether you need help, you probably do. By addressing the mental, emotional, and physical roots of addiction, Maplegrove provides hope and practical solutions for individuals and families, helping patients reclaim their lives and independence.
