At this very moment, America is going through one of the worst drug crises in its history. Trisha’s guest today is Nick Stavros, CEO of Community Medical Services, a company that educates society about America’s opioid crisis and works to treat those affected with care and compassion. Many people spend their entire lives trying to learn the coping skills to deal with trauma, and drugs provide that instant gratification that they are looking for.
