Addiction

Watch Online

As a society we are sometimes quick to blame the victims of addiction. Are some people more prone to addiction than others? Is addiction a behavioral or a neurological condition? What treatment strategies are most effective and what role do friends and family play in the life of a recovering addict?

Host Steve Becker takes phone-in questions and comments on the air and connects you with the latest information and resources, as we explore what is being done to successfully treat victims of addiction.

Guest panelists

  • Tracy Varner, Daybreak of Spokane
  • John Roll PhD, Director for the Washington Institute for Mental Illness Research and Training
  • Jack Curry, Director, Bill’s Place
  • Lisa Hamilton, Spokane Regional Health District.
