Ever wondered how addiction professionals are adapting to the challenges of a global pandemic?

Creativity became key, and therapeutic approaches had to evolve rapidly. Andre also highlights the importance of integrating physical health into recovery programs. His vision for a holistic approach includes educating clients on wellness and ensuring that recovery resources are accessible to all communities.
