Alberta's Abstinence-Only "Recovery" Model


Listen Later

The opioid crisis is killing more Albertans than the COVID-19 crisis— but Jason Kenney's UCP government is intent on pursuing an abstinence-only model that rejects harm-reduction approaches. Joining Team Advantage are Garth Mullins, host of the CRACKDOWN podcast, and Jeremy Appel, author of a recent Progress Report piece titled The Alberta Model: Who benefits from the Alberta government’s shift away from harm reduction to abstinence-only recovery.
