Chuck Robinson is a substance abuse expert with wide-ranging qualifications and experience. He joins the Finding Family Purpose podcast to discuss his understanding of addiction. Robinson's definition is simple - it’s when someone uses an external thing such as a substance, person, or thing to change the way they feel. He also believes that mental health issues have become more clinically obvious due to isolation associated with COVID-19, as well as marijuana legalization in Oklahoma.
