I think we're all reward driven and, like recovery especially, you know, like that's one thing I like about here is there's all we try and incorporate a lot of the different aspects that we're going to use on the outside, not just getting off the drugs.
Ever wondered what it's like to be on the front lines of addiction treatment while also battling personal demons? Meet Diana, a Nurse Practitioner who has been with America's Rehab Campuses (ARC) since its inception. In this episode of The ARCast, Diana opens up about her dual journey—both as a healthcare provider and as someone who has struggled with addiction herself.

One of the most poignant parts of her story is her work with pregnant women struggling with addiction, a group often overlooked in mainstream discussions.
