Ep - 76 Can We Care for Our Addicted Loved One Without Being Able to Fix Them?

In this episode, the final of three, Amy C. Sullivan, the author of 'Opioid Reckoning Love, Loss, and Redemption in The Rehab State,' shares more about family members' powerlessness. 

Sullivan masterfully uses her story as a launching point while including the voices of many touched by the disease of addiction to demonstrate how the opioid epidemic challenged longstanding recovery protocols in Minnesota, a state internationally recognized for pioneering addiction treatment. 

Amy introduced me to a new term, living in a state of ambiguous loss. Listen to learn more.

I can only imagine how interesting and engaging her classes must be. Macalaster College, you are fortunate to have this gifted professor.

Don't forget, Amy's publisher has arranged for a 30% discount when you order 'Opioid Reckoning' at http://z.umn.edu/OpioidReckoning using the promo code MN89780. This offer is good through Dec. 1, 2022.
