233 Odyssey House Journals - Matthew Arego

About this episode

Matthew Arego discusses the challenges faced by therapists in drug treatment, particularly the impact of client overdoses.

THE WORST PART OF BEING A THERAPIST IN DRUG TREATMENT? For Matthew Arego it’s when a client leaves treatment and then dies from an overdose. He was exposed to drugs and domestic violence growing up and he now has a better understanding of what was going on. In this edition of Odyssey House Journals this gentle, caring social worker has an honest look at substance use treatment.
