September is National Recovery Month, and in this episode we’re taking a closer look at addiction and recovery.
We talk about what science tells us about addiction and the changes it can make in the brain, how the United States’ approach to addiction has evolved from punishment toward a greater focus on treatment and public health, and how stigma can make it harder for people and families to seek help.
Zack also sits down with Morgan Thompson – Youth/Young Adult Recovery Program Director at Youth Voices Matter, as well as Cortney Hinson, an expert with lived experience who is a Senior Advisor of Practice Improvement at the National Council for Mental Wellbeing.
