Marshall Smith discusses how some in society think that addiction is a choice and how “treatment on demand” is a recovery strategy that must be initiated. Next, we hear from Chief Palmer on his support and plan to have treatment on demand and other support for addicts started or expanded. Finally, Smith talks about some of the roadblocks that addicts have going into recovery, including the stigma and shame of being an addict, and how society can help them return to being healthy and engaged citizens.
