Episode Overview
- Smashing stigma is crucial for progress in addiction advocacy, treatment, and recovery

Recovery happens as people continue with their lives, but it's very important, especially with people with severe substance use disorders, to have medical attention and to be able to address mental health and to get good professional care.
Addiction is often shrouded in shame and misconceptions, but this episode aims to change that narrative. Host William C. Moyers sits down with Jeremiah Gardner, Director of Communications and Public Affairs, and Emily Piper, Chief Legal, Advocacy and Compliance Officer, both from the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation. Together, they tackle the tough questions and debunk the myths that keep people from seeking help.
Jeremiah and Emily share their professional insights and personal experiences, shedding light on the importance of public education, effective advocacy, and long-term support in the fight against addiction. They discuss how language can either harm or heal and emphasize the need for a compassionate approach to treatment and recovery. This episode is not just a conversation; it's a call to action for everyone to join in smashing the stigma surrounding addiction.
If you're looking for an eye-opening discussion that offers both hope and practical advice, this episode is a must-listen.
