In the current landscape of American addiction, fentanyl receives the majority of the public health attention and rightly so. But there is another crisis unfolding in parallel, one that is devastating families in rural communities, suburban neighborhoods, and urban centers alike, and one that presents a clinical profile that is in some ways even more […]
You prepared for weeks. You rehearsed until the words were memorized. You held yourself together while reading the most vulnerable thing you have ever written in front of the person you love most. And they looked at the table, or at the wall, or at you with something that was simultaneously anger and pain, and […]
When a family calls us to discuss a professional intervention for a loved one, the conversation almost always begins with one person, the one with the addiction. Within the first thirty minutes, we are learning about someone else: the family member on the other end of the phone. How long have they been managing this? […]
