THIS IS REVOLUTION>podcast ep. 110: Confessions of a Drug Counselor

If you've listened to the show for a while you know that I REALLY enjoy having people on that I've met online (or in real life) that I find interesting.  Our guest is, who doesn't want to be named for fear that it might hurt her career in the field is someone I've had quite a bit of correspondence with online for a while.  I finally convinced her to do this episode I knew it was going to be a good one.   We take a deep dive into the world of drug counselling for the unhoused, and just services overall for the unhoused population.    We also interrogate the #DefundThePolice push we've seen gain steam in aftermath of the George Floyd protests.  We understand that there are situations that armed law enforcement shouldn't be responding too, but what should service actually look like?  What are the pitfalls?   Thank you guys again for taking the time to check this out.  We appreciate each and everyone of you.  If you have the means, and you feel so inclined, BECOME A PATRON!
