From the Program of Addiction Research, Clinical Care, Knowledge, and Advocacy (PARCKA), this is “Let’s Talk About Drugs in the Intermountain West,” where we come together every Wednesday to discuss various topics around addiction. We believe that the more we can openly and safely talk about drug use, the better we can understand it, treat it, destigmatize it, and research it. And the better we can do, the more we can do. Thank you for joining us, for taking a listen, and joining the conversation.
