The Circumstance of Substance Abuse pt 1

from Alive and Well STL · host RareGem Productions

"In St. Louis there is a growing crisis with heroin addiction and prescription drug abuse. Substance abuse is usually a symptom of other underlying issues where the harmful behavior serves as a coping mechanism for another problem. Dr. Fred Rottnek, Medical Director of Corrections Medicine for the St. Louis County Department of Health and Associate Professor at St. Louis University, encourages listeners to remember how broad the definition of an addict is so that we do not label somebody as ‘different than me’ because ‘they have a drug problem.’ "
