I work with people who have problems with opioids, alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, and many other addictive substances. I also provide care for the family members as they are often affected in significant ways.

Here is a link to a video I participated in through the University of Arkansas. You’ll see that there is hope for all who struggle with their use of substances. There are many new and innovative treatments available. 

As a member of Healthy Haywood I was very involved in their initiative to combat prescription drug abuse in Haywood County. This project was called “Prescription for Safety”, and it was led by a group of concerned citizens and professionals working to combat this epidemic of addiction.

I have experience working with people using medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD, formerly known as MAT, medication-assisted treatment) such as buprenorphine (Suboxone) and methadone

Here’s a link to an interview with Rxpert Solutions on stigma associated with addictions.
