DART Program: A Mother's Mission to Combat Addiction
“It's about knowing those individuals who are at risk or they're at a scene that you know. They could be able to access moud, which is a medical-assisted medication for people who have a substance use disorder, which is really one of the first steps in addressing your addiction.”
Ever wondered how a personal tragedy can spark a mission to help others? In this episode of 'Healing Voices Project', host Mike Tourville chats with Kathi Cotugno, a mother who turned her grief into action after losing her son to a fentanyl heroin overdose.
