We like to believe the opposite of addiction is actually connection and we are going to attempt to educate you and possibly even entertain you while we navigate all topics.
Drs. Heather Bell and Kurt DeVine take a timely detour from their usual focus on addiction to address the pressing topic of COVID-19.
