Facing the Tough Realities of Addiction Treatment with Tom Conrad
“Treatment isn't about walking through and not having any issues...It's interesting because families will get defensive on the aspect of no, we did have a good childhood, and it's not the parent's fault in any way, but it's being able to look at some dysfunction that may be relative, where emotional growth and support wasn't cultivated because people didn't know.”
