The power of a community that's united in an approach.
Imagine a community rallying together to combat the opioid crisis. In this episode of 'Let's Talk Addiction & Recovery', host William C. Moyers chats with Jordan Hansen, Manager of Clinical Strategies and Programming at the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation. They dive into how local efforts are making a difference in the fight against opioid addiction. From courthouses to correctional institutions, and hospital emergency rooms to town hall meetings, innovative approaches are being forged to create healthier communities.

Through collaboration and a united approach, these communities can make meaningful changes. Hansen and Moyers highlight the importance of addressing underlying mental health issues and providing long-term support for recovery.
