Tom Coderre is the national field director for Faces and Voices of Recovery. During this show Dr. Gracer and Mr. Coderre look at the efforts in the US Congress to pass the “parity” bill that would make it mandatory for health insurance to cover mental health and addiction problems the same way that they cover medical problems, as well as an outreach program to over 200 local organizations across the country through Recovery Voices Count to help them organize effective communication to their communities and governments. During this show you will learn about the current hot topics that will make a huge difference in the way that addiction is treated in the US.
