Sam Arsenault Talks Addiction Myths

Rehab in Malibu? 12-step programs? Behavioral therapy? What should addiction treatment look like? And what comes next for people in recovery once the initial treatment phase ends?

Yesterday on NPR’s 1A, Shatterproof’s own Sam Arsenault joined Brooke Feldman, Barry Grant, and host Joshua Johnson to discuss pathways to recovery, the unjust stigma associated with addiction medications, and why one size does not fit all when it comes to addiction treatment plans.
