    The current drug epidemic is complicated.  And just as there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to getting illicit drugs off the street, there isn't one single path to recovery.  If we are going to tackle such a complex issue, we need a multi-pronged approach - law enforcement, clinical intervention, recovery and harm reduction- each have their part in this.  

    In this episode, we're speaking with Evan Done, Community Impact Director at USARA, about his role in recovery and harm reduction.

    Key topics:

    • Utah's drug-induced homicide law
    • Balancing compassion for people with substance use penalties for trafficking and distribution
    • Why we need to understand there are multiple paths to recovery
