What started as a virtual lifeline during the dark 'isolating' days of the pandemic in Colusa County in 2020 now reaches 50 states and 12 nations."We saw a desperate need in our own community and filled a gap, utilizing technology to foster human connection and support. As individuals in recovery, we dared to embrace innovation in new ways that empowered people, regardless of their geography, to access online tools, resources and support systems to aid them on their journeys of healing, resilience, and well-being.” – Susan Wagenaar, Colusa County Recovery.

Safer Supply | Mandated Treatment | Alberta Psychiatrist, Dr. Rob Tanguay.

With the concept of a "recovery oriented system of care" getting more and more traction, its seems the rift between harm reduction and abstinence based strategies is once again widening, or at least that's how the media narrative seems to be presenting itself. Dr. Rob Tanguay is at the heart of this conversation. He joined me on the podcast to share his opinions and expertise on the topic to help us gain a clearer understanding of what it is we are actually trying to achieve here in Canada for people who use drugs.
