John Magnuson ~ Recovery, Resilience, and Community connection

On this episode of Veterans 4 Recovery you’ll hear from John Magnuson. John is a person in long-term recovery who worked behind the scenes on the parity act. The mental health parity act is a federal law that requires health insurance plans to provide comparable coverage for mental health and substance use disorders as they do for medical and surgical care.  John also works with a 12-Step immersion program.  12-Step immersion programs use the 12-Step model of Alcoholics Anonymous.  12-Step immersion programs provide low cost and highly effective residential services for people living with a substance use disorder. John's newest project is a Recovery Ranch in southern Minnesota. In this setting, people in recovery will be able to practice the principles of recovery in a beautiful setting communing with nature.
