About Get Right Acudetox and Wellness
At Get Right, our mission is to bring high-quality healing services to the Bay Area communities most in need and who have been systematically excluded from accessing medical resources. We seek to establish an ecosystem of care that is equipped to serve people who experience PTSD, addiction, chronic pain, and mental health challenges as a result of living under capitalist exploitation and abuse.
Our principles
At the Get Right, we believe in fostering an ecosystem of care that addresses the diverse needs of our community. As part of our commitment to holistic well-being, we actively collaborate with community organizations like People's Programs Oakland (PPO) to ensure the sustainability and reach of our initiatives.
Within this ecosystem of care, we understand the importance of integrating Western medical practices. Western practitioners bring valuable expertise in areas such as wound care, administering antibiotics for severe infections, and providing imaging services. These medical interventions are essential for addressing acute health issues and ensuring the safety and well-being of individuals in our community.
Our ecosystem of Care
At the heart of our work is the concept of healing justice. Healing is not just an individual journey, but a collective one. Our work acknowledges the interconnectedness of social, economic, and environmental factors that impact health and well-being. Drawing on our background in land work, we understand the importance of not only the theoretical aspects of healing but also the practical application of healing practices. This approach has the potential to bridge both personal and community healing, fostering a more holistic and inclusive approach to well-being.
We are also dedicated to serving frontline activists, organizers, and farmers. We understand the immense challenges and pressures they face in their tireless efforts to create positive change in their communities. Burnout is a real concern for these individuals, as they often put their own well-being on the line for the greater good. That is why our healing justice approach was specifically designed to address burnout and provide support to those who are at the forefront of social and environmental justice movements.
By offering a range of healing practices and resources, we aim to empower frontline activists and organizers to prioritize their own well-being and sustain their important work. Our programs and services provide tools for self-care, stress reduction, and resilience-building, ensuring that these individuals have the support they need to continue their vital efforts in creating a more just and equitable society. By supporting frontline activists and organizers in their healing journeys, we contribute to the overall well-being and resilience of communities.
Our work is specifically designed to serve the needs of system-impacted communities as a tool for self-determination. By bringing accessible and culturally relevant wellness options to the Bay area, we aim to empower individuals and communities to take control of their own healing journeys. Through the establishment of detox centers, holistic medicine, and other traditional practices, we can provide a comprehensive approach to healing that addresses the unique needs and experiences of our people.
