| Nearly every family is affected by addiction. Yet, unfortunately, too often, it's not talked about openly and honestly. It's whispered about. It's met with derision and scorn. And those of us with an addiction, we hear those voices, and somehow we believe that we are less deserving of care and treatment.
If you have cancer, you get treatment; if you have diabetes, you get treatment. But somehow people with addiction have to wait for treatment or often can't get when they need it. And left untreated, addiction has significant, dire consequences. We've been down that road before." |
