Part I of this 2 part series tackles the complex and often neglected issue of addiction in our communities. We'll explore the layers of stigma and misconceptions surrounding it, showing how addiction is not a moral failing.


We'll start by debunking common myths and revealing the science behind addiction, including how genetics and environment play a role. Then look at the unique challenges faced by our communities, where cultural beliefs and the search for spiritual remedies can sometimes clash with evidence-based medical treatments.
