Relapse Prevention

Jenny Paul grew up in a household where drug use was common. For many years, she unlike her brother and father, avoided drugs and enrolled in college and in the military. But after trying prescription medication with her boyfriend at the time, she fell into the very drug using habit that she spent years avoiding.

In this episode of Straight Talk with Mike Gimbel, Jenny, now sober, joins Mike to discuss her own story from active addiction to recovery. Jenny, who spent two and a half months in treatment at Maryland Addiction Recovery Center, firmly believes that taking a longterm approach to treating substance use will have the most productive results.
