We're excited to share a compelling conversation from our Behavioral Health Innovators series, presented by Lightning Step Technologies, live from the West Coast Symposium! Host Benjamin Turner sat down with Adam Lincoln, Director of Operations at Baja Rehab, to discuss their unique approach to addiction treatment in Mexico.
 
Adam highlighted how Baja Rehab serves individuals who've exhausted other treatment options:
 
 Provides care for those on the "last leg" of addiction
 Only English-speaking program in Mexico
 Offers extended stays (90+ days) in a secure, lockdown environment
 Comprehensive care with an entire clinical staff
 
Most strikingly, Adam shared how their facility can admit patients who may not voluntarily seek treatment, often at the request of desperate family members. While controversial, this approach aims to save lives when traditional methods have failed.
 
Tune in to learn about this innovative, albeit unconventional, approach to treating severe addiction cases. It's a thought-provoking look at the lengths some are going to combat the addiction crisis.
