This Is Nashville

The Roundabout: Substance use, survival, recovery and loss

Listen Later

We’ve given you a lot to think about this week as we've examined harm reduction, medication assisted treatment and substance use disorder recovery and loss.

Today, it's your turn to talk. Our guests this week have talked about clean syringe exchange, using drugs to get off drugs and the shame and stigma surrounding substance use disorder. Our Roundabout panel is here to listen to your stories and answer your questions. What’s helped the people you know who face addiction? How did you find your way to sobriety? And what concerns you about the legal and not-so-legal methods used? Join us on air by calling 615-760-2000.
