We’re taking a closer look at addiction and substance use disorder in
the DMV and the growing impact it’s having on individuals, families and entire communities. From mental health struggles and trauma… to poverty, housing instability and access to care, we’ll examine the social determinants that often fuel addiction. Plus, what are the treatment options, the barriers that keep people from getting help, and how important is peer support in recovery efforts? It’s a candid conversation about substance abuse, recovery and healing.
