Episode 8: All Lives Can't Matter Until Black Lives Matter

Family Addiction Coaching

We need to give Black persons with addiction tools for coping with the daily traumatic impact of racism; which if it existed, would be known as trauma-informed dual diagnosis care specific to racism. However it does not exist; no treatment programs are offering this. Like all other institutions in America, the Addiction Treatment Industry reflects the built-in racism of society; and to most Whites it remains hidden. If Black persons with addiction even trust the  programs with overwhelmingly White staff enough to ask for help, they are provided no different care than White patients.  At most programs it's one size fits all regardless of race, drug, or gender identification. Even with the significant impact of Covid19 recovery is still possible; and my Family Coaching improves outcomes.
