Substance abuse affects an estimated 25 million Americans; 90 percent of people who struggle with alcohol in the US are not clinically addicted; and every day, more than 130 people in the US die from overdosing on opioids. Meanwhile, the clinical and cultural perspectives on addiction and recovery vary greatly and are, at times, conflicting. For this Alma In Conversation, Alma member and psychiatrist Dr. Edmund Griffin, MD, PhD; founder and CEO of Tempest, Inc. Holly Whitaker; and founder and CEO of Groups Jeff De Flavio, MD, joined Alma member Erica Lubetkin, LMHC, to discuss traditional and alternative approaches to addiction recovery and treatment, and the role of the clinician in the recovery journey. Alma In Conversation brings together experts in their field for an open discussion about themes and topics relevant to mental health care providers and their clients. Alma is a network of mental health care professionals working to simplify access to high-quality affordable care and improve the experience of therapy for both clinicians and their clients.
