Until we can start kind of coming together as people and see people's strengths, like the addiction treatment community as part of helping the homeless community, unless we can start to have mental health treatment, not forced upon, but kind of strongly suggested upon the schizophrenic who are causing great distress and worry.

In this episode of Bob Forrest's Don't Die Podcast, Bob, Chuk, and Mike take you on a raw journey through the highs and lows of desert life. Bob opens up about his personal battles with drug addiction in Wonder Valley and the frustrating red tape that often surrounds rehab facilities.
