We've utilized the criminal justice system to tackle drug and addiction issues for decades, but this method doesn't address the real problem or provide consistent results. In Christina's new op-ed in the DC Journal, she shares how she shifted from seeing drug addiction as a criminal issue to understanding it as a complex health challenge. In order to help more people live healthy, thriving lives, we need to offer treatment and support to people who are struggling with addiction - not more punishment.

According to studies from organizations like the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), a significant majority of individuals with substance use disorders started using drugs or alcohol during adolescence. Some sources estimate that as many as 90% of people who develop substance use disorders began using substances before the age of 18. Adolescence is a critical period for brain development, and early substance use can increase the risk of addiction later in life. #recovery #prevention #addiction #sober #soberlife #sobriety #bhamrecovery #Birmingham #APC #endaddictionbham

Please join me in supporting Renascent! The rate of substance-related toxicity deaths has dramatically increased in Ontario over a 4.5 year study period (2018 – 2022) according to a recent report by the Ontario Drug Policy Research Network and Public Health Ontario – an increase of 72% comparing deaths in first 12 months compared to final 12 months. It equated to 8 people each day in 2021 and was 5 times higher than traffic accident-related deaths. Addiction isn't a choice but the path to recovery is; however, the lack of historical funding for community-based addictions services has contributed to barriers to treatment. Renascent is a not-for-profit that has been in operation over 50 years with leading addition treatment programs and services (one of the largest residential treatment providers in Ontario). I am doing this walk for the people I know (and you may know) who are currently struggling with addiction as well as the stigma of seeking help.
