Episode Synopsis

Seattle has tried, and is still actively trying, many different approaches to addiction treatment: law enforcement diversion programs, housing first, medication assisted treatment, drug court, outreach work, the list goes on. Now, the city has added another attempt to that list by piloting a new program that aims to get people into treatment faster by expanding access to private rehabs. Guest: David Kroman, Seattle Times city hall reporter Related stories: Seattle pilot program expands access to private substance use treatment - Seattle Times Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!
