Breaking Down Barriers: Arrowhead Behavioral Health's Approach to Substance Use Disorders
“We don't put labels on folks that are suffering from cancer or diabetes like we do with our folks that are suffering from substance abuse. We're starting to notice a lot more people suffering from addiction, from opioids... the more positive that we have to kind of grab onto. I think it resonates a little differently when you have someone that can tell stories about their rock bottom and then present in a way that look where I'm at now and I'm here and I want to give back and I want to help.”
