Dr. Nzinga Harrison hosts \u201cIn Recovery\u201d - a podcast about understanding addictions (all of them) as a medical illness. Nzinga\u2019s a physician board-certified in psychiatry and addiction medicine. As an educator and vocal advocate - she asks and answers the \u201cwhy\u2019s\u201d about our perceptions (and laws) - and how they often shift dramatically around addiction. Nzinga\u2019s ALSO the Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of Eleanor Health, who believes in a comprehensive, compassionate approach to treating addiction. In our ranging conversation, we talk (and learn) about how addiction relates to race, oppression, and...of course drug policy - which often paints those suffering most not as sick people, but criminals.\xa0\nLEARN ABOUT NZINGA\n\nPODCAST: \u201cIn Recovery\u201d - lemonadamedia.com/show/in-recovery\n\n\nWORK: eleanorhealth.com/team\n\n@naharrisonmd\n\n\n\nMENTIONS\n\nPODCAST: \u201cLast Day\u201d - lemonadamedia.com/show/last-day\n\n\nVIDEO: \u201cJay Z: 'The War on Drugs Is an Epic Fail\u2019 \u201c - https://nyti.ms/317ibKK\n\n\nBOOK: \u201cKite Runner\u201d (Khaled Hosseini): goodreads.com/book/show/77203.The_Kite_Runner\n\n\nPERSON: Sasha Obama: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_of_Barack_Obama#Malia_Obama_and_Sasha_Obama\n\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
