Imagine walking into an emergency room and being treated for opioid addiction without judgment, but with the same care and precision as any other medical condition. This episode of the 'Cover2 Resources' podcast brings you an enlightening conversation between host Greg McNeil and Dr. Darin Neven, an emergency department physician at Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane, Washington.
