Welcome to The Long Way Home, a five-part limited series that journeys into the heart of substance use disorders and recovery. With a focus on women and marginalized communities, we explore how addiction uniquely impacts pregnant people, mothers, adolescents, and young adults. Through conversations with leading experts, we examine the intersection of addiction, the criminal legal system, systemic neglect, and the enduring effects of colonization. We center the right to recovery—recognizing it as a complex, lifelong process that deserves time, attention, and resources. This series is a space for truth-telling, learning, and imagining a more just and supportive path home.

In this fifth episode of The Long Way Home, we aim to better understand Native American culture and addiction with New Mexico State Senator Angel Charley.
