Treating the disease of addiction and the fallout from substance abuse can be incredibly challenging for healthcare professionals. Most Mds have had less than 6 hours of total training in this field. As a Certified Addiction Professional I have overseen the successful recovery of literally hundreds of patients. Their success has hinged upon three tenets: Honesty, Open-Mindedness, and Willingness. Whether you are a family member of someone struggling with these issues, or are grappling with addiction yourself, you do not have to go on suffering.
