We need to be advocating for evidence-based solutions to the addiction crisis. When it comes to criminal justice, you know it comes to treatment reform, humanizing addiction, mainstreaming addiction as a health care service and not having it kind of in its own silo.
Picture this: you're working in the White House, but behind the scenes, you're grappling with a heroin addiction. This was Ryan Hampton's reality. In this episode of Cover2 Resources, Ryan, now a bestselling author and a prominent advocate for recovery, opens up about his journey from addiction to advocacy. He shares his raw experiences and discusses his book, 'American Fix', which dives deep into the opioid crisis and offers tangible solutions.
Ryan critiques the war on drugs and highlights the urgent need for evidence-based approaches to tackle addiction. He also stresses the importance of including people in recovery and their families in policymaking. With the added strain of the COVID-19 pandemic, Ryan's insights are more crucial than ever. Tune in for a candid conversation that sheds light on the opioid epidemic and explores pathways to recovery.
