Communities and families are learning new ways to create resources for recovery. Science has verified that addiction is a brain disease and impairs the ability to make good decisions. When an individual is in the throes of addiction, the actions of the family and community are key to supporting that person getting effective treatment and hopefully entering long-term recovery. Special guest Sharon Blair lost her daughter Jennifer to a drug overdose in 2009. She made a commitment at that time to advocate for effective community action and laws that support recovery.
