Episode #8 - Substance Abuse and Addiction: What It Is and What It Isn't

In this episode we discuss Chris’ knowledge of an overview on Addiction and Substance Abuse. Many myths and stereo types exist which we try to expose with the primary addiction view discussed from the Minnesota model developed in the 1050’s. Join us in a better understanding of addiction issues which we will certainly have to cover more in future episodes.
