The opinion of this week's guests, based on their daily hands-on experience, is that addiction in the United States is sadly becoming the norm. The good news is that if you live in an area that is pro-recovery then you’re more likely to locate state or federally-funded programs like the Medication for Opioid Use Disorder Services that are inside the Hampshire County Jail in Northampton, Massachusetts, where incarcerated individuals are treated for their addiction by a team of certified medical professionals. As Dr. Katie, the head of the MOUD in-jail program, in this week's episode states, ‘….if someone has Diabetes we don’t ask how long they will need to be on medication…we know it’s a forever treatment….the same should be the norm for those who are suffering from drug or alcohol addiction…’. As this week's topic relays, recovery is something that doesn’t get a day off, ever.
