Blizzard -
thanks for letting me know. He and his girlfriend will be in my thoughts and prayers. I so agree with you regarding the treatment of many addicts. It is a very little understood disease. I work in the area of trauma so you can imagine how much addiction I see. It is a disease that strikes all levels of society but it sure is stigmatized. Hopefully, his experiences at Duke will be with more understanding people. It's shocking how little the "regular" medical professionals know about addiction. Keep me posted on how he is doing.
