Over the past year we have seen a proliferation of “reality” TV programs that depict addiction treatment and intervention. We have also seen a number of high profile people who are experiencing symptoms of addiction, mental illness and substance use disorders have their privacy and confidentiality violated by providers and the media. How can someone in the throes of their illness give informed consent? Do high profile people have the same rights to confidentiality that the rest of us do? Who is prescribing all these medications of abuse? Please join us as we discuss these topics and share with us your thoughts and beliefs!
