FRIGHTENING –
May 2, 2023 – The leading medical professionals discussed treatment, including medication and long-term recovery with members of the Kittitas County recovery community and others looking for clarification and understanding.
“Tonight, was about dialogue to resolve some misunderstanding about what recovery is. In the long, we’re all trying to accomplish the same thing,” said Wilson, who grew up in a dysfunctional family and eventually dropped out of high school once he started drinking and smoking pot.
“I’m old school in my recovery, in other words you have to be abstinent from everything. At first when I heard people talking about taking medications while they were in recovery, it sent shivers up and down my spine. “Now I see it’s all part of the process for many people. As long as we’re talking about medication assisting people and not medication instead of treatment, I’m all for it. I thought that’s what was clarified tonight.”
