Addiction, Recovery, and Racial Health Equity

In this episode, we have a honor of speaking with Dr. Corrie Vilsaint, a research fellow in psychology at Harvard Medical School and principle investigator at the Recovery Research Institute at the Center for Addiction Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital. Dr. Vilsaint also serves on Duffy Health Center’s Board of Directors.

In our conversation, we discuss the science of addiction and recovery; access and barriers to treatment; the instrumental impact of recovery support services for those struggling with substance use and for those on their recovery journey; and addiction & recovery in the time of COVID. We look at all of these topics through the lens of racial health equity.
