This week we are joined by Dr. Mo to talk everything substance use and recovery. Mo uses her academic background and lived experience to educate on the stigma of substance use and how to dive into recovery.

Listen to hear about the perspective of recovery from an individual in active recovery. What is a “grey area drinker”? Can you be addicted to something you don’t use everyday? How does Dr. Mo feel about the term “California sober”? 

Dr. Mo is currently a professor at the University of South Dakota in vermillion. She has her bachelors and masters in addiction studies and also as PHD in Counseling and Psychology in Education. She’s completed multiple research projects ranging from college substance use to sex trafficking.
