The Government of Saskatchewan recently announced that it will no longer be funding the provision of clean crack pipes, meth pipes, and informational material on how to use drugs safely. Dr. Carson McPherson, the CEO of ROSC Solutions Group, has been collaborating with the Government of Saskatchewan to shape the province's new strategy when it comes to dealing with the current addictions and overdose crisis we are facing, and his company has also been the leading organization supporting the Alberta Government as they transition to a 'recovery-oriented system of care' over the past couple of years. He joins Evan to explain why he believes this system is the most effective way to deal with addictions.
