It’s no mystery that an “us versus them” mentality contributes to the stigma surrounding drug and alcohol addiction. People think: “I would never do that to my family,” or “Why can’t they just stop?

Our staff and clients were recently fortunate enough to receive training on Narcan and opioid overdose awareness. We learned that misinformation and hysteria – the source of which is the news and social media –…
The words “meditation” and “prayer” get thrown around a lot in the addiction recovery world. However, these same words can make uncertain newcomers feel like running for the hills.
