In episode seven, we are debunking the myth "The only legitimate treatment for addiction is abstinence."
Our host, Tim Light, welcomes co-host Mindy Vincent, MSW, MPA, LCSW, who is the co-founder and executive director of the Utah Harm Reduction Coalition and owner of Life Changes Counseling in Heber City, Utah; Dr. Erin Fadden Manning, of the University of New Mexico Health Science Center; and Ashanti Moritz, outreach director of the Skull Valley Band of Goshutes' Warrior Spirit Recovery Center; to discuss the myth that there is only one valid way to treat addiction and the science behind methods such as Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) programs.
