One of the big differences that you'll find across the nation is that some lawyers assistance programs have a duty to protect the public.
Imagine being a lawyer, doctor, or pilot grappling with addiction. The stakes are high, and the pressure is immense. In this episode of 'The Best Minds Podcast', hosts Jeff and Debra Jay sit down with Buddy Stockwell, a certified clinical interventionist with decades of experience helping licensed professionals navigate their recovery journeys.
