KNOW Science - NO Stigma

Understanding Addiction - Know Science, No Stigma... Interview with Dr. Charles Smith,  author of this most informative book ... a must-read for those struggling from the tragic effects of drugs and alcohol.. and for their families to understand the behaviors often associated with this disease of addiction. 

Dr. Smith is an expert in this field with personal, firsthand experience with the humiliation and shame that accompanies substance use disorder.  He points out that addiction is a disease .. no less so than diabetes, heart disease or hypertension... and needs to be treated as such.

Unlike most other illnesses, substance use disorder is characterized predominantly by behavior.  Stigma is our biggest killer.  It is a deterrent in combatting addiction and to get to the root of this disease.  It hinders growth and progression.

Knowledge is POWER...
