Muriel Wright Programs Inspire International Interest

Telecare’s innovative approach to addiction recovery has caught international attention, as KyungSun Yu from South Korea’s leading newspaper, KyungHyang Shinmun. Yu’s investigation into addiction treatment solutions led her to visit the Muriel Wright Crisis Residential Treatment (CRT) and Substance Use Treatment Services (SUTS) programs.

The connection began with Judge Erica Yew of Santa Clara County, who shared her firsthand observations of the program’s success during a visit to South Korea. Having witnessed numerous clients achieve positive outcomes through Muriel Wright’s services, Judge Yew highlighted the program as an exemplary model for addiction recovery.

This insight proved particularly relevant to Yu’s investigation, as South Korea faces growing challenges in addressing substance use disorders. With limited rehabilitation facilities and rehabilitation awareness, the country seeks effective solutions for its increasing addiction rates.

Inspired by Judge Yew’s recommendation, Yu and her colleague traveled to observe Muriel Wright’s operations firsthand. Their visit offered valuable insights into recovery principles and approaches that could help address South Korea’s evolving needs in addiction treatment.

This international recognition highlights Telecare’s commitment to sharing effective recovery practices globally, potentially influencing addiction treatment approaches beyond our borders.
