Is the Cart before the Horse: Failure to Launch and Substance Use Disorders

Show Guest: Gary Hees

Society as a whole, and in many cases people within the industry, believed that there was no such thing as

the, "disease" of addiction. They felt that drug addiction and alcoholism were symptoms of moral failing or

lack of self-control. Thanks to extensive research and a significant effort to educate the general public,

the notion of the addiction as a, "disease" has been widely accepted. The reality is that while a lot of

people do in fact suffer from the disease of addiction, many people struggling with substances do not. In

this not-to-be-missed interview, Gary and his expert staff at Decision Point Center describe how they

assessment the conditions, and provide treatment and a community environment to help individuals move forward

with purpose and meaning regardless of their history of substance misuse, abuse, and other co-occurring

disorders.
