Journey to a Substance Use Disorder

Our Guest: Melissa Owens, BSN, RNRN Care management - WICT/SSI Health Plan Melissa, a nurse in recovery, tells all. She is candid about what it's like to be a new nurse and all its challenges. She exposes attitudes within nursing that are unhealthy and while she does not blame her substance use disorder on any one thing, listening to her gives us insights into how things can stack up. You will hear about her journey into addiction, how her diversion started and how she was caught, her attempts to get help and ultimately a successful recovery which she has maintained for years.
