In a powerful new episode titled “Jackie O Just Started The Rehab Conversation Australia Had to Have,” Mamamia’s popular podcast The Quicky delves into the often-hidden realities of rehab in Australia. Inspired by Jackie O’s candid revelations in her memoir The Whole Truth, which details her own experience with rehabilitation, the episode addresses the stigma surrounding addiction and highlights the transformative role of accessible treatment.

Odyssey House NSW’s CEO, Carmel Tebbutt, joined the conversation, offering insight into the unique challenges people face on the road to recovery and the growing demand for support. Tebbutt discussed the compassionate, trauma-informed approach that Odyssey House NSW takes to help individuals address not only substance use but also the deeper issues impacting their lives.

Jackie O’s decision to donate all profits from her memoir to Odyssey House NSW has opened a crucial conversation, and The Quicky episode amplifies this message by exploring what rehab entails and why it matters. Tebbutt’s perspective provides a valuable look at the importance of reducing stigma and creating an environment where Australians can seek help without fear of judgment.

Odyssey House NSW extends heartfelt thanks to The Quicky, Jackie O, and Mamamia for their dedication to increasing awareness of addiction and recovery. These conversations bring us closer to a world that embraces and supports those seeking help, fostering greater empathy and understanding along the way.
