Show #32: Addicted: Could It Happen to You - or Your Family?

Addiction remains the subject of much debate, research, and conflicting theories - one thing, however, remains true: it can be tragic, and we need both information and hope.

Randye, Nicky and Diana talk with Marie, mother of a daughter currently (again) in rehab for heroin addiction - and two experts who work to understand addiction and find a way to help.

Dr. Carlton Erickson- a research scientist, has been studying the effects of alcohol on the brain for over 45 years.

Author: “The Science of Addiction: from Neurobiology to Treatment”, and Co-author: “Drugs, The Brain, and Behavior”

Dr. Marina Picciotto is the Charles B.G. Murphy Professor of Psychiatry and professor of Neurobiology and Pharmacology at Yale University.

Join us for this fascinating, insightful conversation.
