  • One word….SCIENTOLOGY.

    I cannot believe the nonsense these two spew against Medically Assisted Treatment. This pod is put out by Scientology and narconon.

    Big facts Karen. It’s one of the few medications available for the disease, to help combat it. One can be on it their entire life. Especially if it keeps them clean. The goal is to eventually step down for lots of people but the main goal for everyone is to stay clean, no matter what. Anyways l, like your post and wanted to comment ….of course…. Wishing you the best!

The Moment I Faced My Crack Addiction — And Decided to Live
Q: How did crack cocaine enter the picture, and what happened during that period?
