Nov 4th , 2017 -As you know there is a horrifying national increase in addiction to opioid drugs. Are people just using those more socially-acceptable pills instead of heroin and cocaine? Or are we witnessing the birth of a whole new population of addicts introduced to the habit by their doctors? What can be done on the personal and policy level? My guest is Scott Gillet, LSCW, CRNC. He is the founder of Briarcliff Institute for Recovery and Development in Briarcliff Manor, NY. Scott is a family and substance abuse therapist, a nutrition counselor, and an activist for a more humane and sensible approach to addiction treatment and policy. Mr. Gillet wrote True Bud, Understanding Toxic Marijuana Syndrome. This weekend he is is participating in an Alliance for Addiction Solutions conference (Salt Lake City).
