Whether you are struggling with addiction yourself, or have a loved one you are concerned about, or want to just simply learn about addiction, this podcast is the right place for all of you. We are a team of nurses, addiction counselors and mental health professionals and our goal is to help fight the addiction epidemic as well as stigmas related to the disease.
