Almost 21 million Americans have at least one addiction, yet only 10% of them receive treatment. Drugs, plastic surgery, alcohol, video games, gambling, shopping, food, sex, the internet, risky behaviors…can all be addictions. In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, host Dana Davenport is focusing on addiction to bring attention to how this pandemic and other world changes have impacted mental health overall and the rise of addictions. Dana chats with local experts to discuss what addiction is, what compels someone to repeatedly use substances or engage in behaviors even though they have harmful consequences, and how critical support is in recovery.
