Episode 4: Caring For Those In Adversity
As we close the month on faith and adversity, in this episode we will discuss the adversity of addiction with a man of faith who runs an inpatient treatment facility in Baltimore, MD. While society looks at addiction as a moral failing, we learn that addiction is a complex disease that affects the brain. Ghanian Executive Director, Bernard Gyebi-Foster shares his role in caring for and treating those faced with the adversity of addiction.
