SUMMARY:NeC-ROTAC Webinar - Addressing Myths About Substance Use\, Addiction\, Treatment and Recovery
DESCRIPTION:How did you learn about substance use\, addiction\, treatment and recovery? What are the sources of information that shaped your views?

It will also address common beliefs like\, “You have to hit rock bottom” and “Recovery is rare\,” and explain how attitudes\, practices\, and data collection have evolved. Information from the 2022 National Survey on Drug Use and Health and other sources will be presented\, illustrating the complexity of substance use challenges and trends in rural vs. urban communities. \nPresenter: Susan Stellin\, MPH – is a writer\, educator\, and public health consultant focusing on health-centered responses to substance use and addiction.
