The embracing of integrated recovery therapy is essential to combating the epidemic of addictions facing our communities.  If we can imagine a bright future for our community it is because our community takes responsibility for each other.Drunk kids We cannot brush our behavioral problems off to individual delinquencies.

We must embrace “addiction” whether we identify with it personally or not.  After all, no addict had the intention of becoming addicted, prior to having the words “addiction” become a part of their identity.

Crystal Meth among other substances, threatens our community as the new age pandemic.

~Brandon Bennett, President of Back to the Basics Please, Inc.
