"I have a deeper understanding of the disease of chemical dependency and its impact on the addict, family and society. I no longer view the addict as a problem but as a person no different from anyone else suffering with an illness.
I had a very limited fund of knowledge when it came to addiction and particularly treatment options for addiction. This course should be mandatory for all health care professionals." -PIR participant
