addiction to alcohol and drugs in veterans returning to civilian life.
This program examines treatment availability and alcohol and drug addiction
treatment options available for veterans and their families. The show also
addresses current trends and prevalence of substance use disorders among
veterans and will shed light on current addiction treatment issues facing

From our visitors:
I recently had the pleasure of reading the article
that (Sara Solovitch) eloquently wrote about Hollie
and her recovery from the disease of addiction. I
wanted to thank you for writing such an honest
piece. Hollie and I were roommates during her entire
stay at Chrysalis House and we graduated on the same
day, March 22nd. We are great friends and sisters in
recovery. I am blessed to know her and truly
appreciate what you did. You are a champion for
showcasing the hope that people have who choose to
live instead of give into the disease of addiction.
Most sincerely, Susie Quinn
I
remember watching the "Saving Carrick" "Dateline"
special report, and thinking how I wished they had
mentioned more about methadone maintenance as a
treatment option ...
