And the outcome of that is exceptionally powerful. You become a transformation agent.
Imagine being told that the key to helping a loved one struggling with substance use disorder lies within your own family.

The hosts argue for a more inclusive approach to treatment that actively involves families, advocating for policy changes like HIPAA to facilitate this shift.
