On this episode of Clean and Sober Radio, host Gary Hendler and cohost Mark Sigmund discussed the question of what is truly newsworthy in the world of addiction and recovery. They examined whether the public should fully trust news media reports and government statistics regarding the rise or decline in overdose numbers, and whether local, state, and national leaders were doing enough to support those seeking treatment. The conversation also explored the need for oversight and watchdog organizations to monitor the legitimacy of treatment centers, particularly those whose practices may be questionable. Throughout the broadcast, Gary and Mark encouraged listeners to think critically about the information they receive and to share their own perspectives on what should be believed and what should be questioned.
