On this edition of Oregon On The Record we talk with Eva Williams and Coleen Smith of Willamette Family about the best ways to treat addiction and create a support network.

The combination of isolation, the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors have led to an increase in addiction and drug abuse, and treatment organizations like Willamette Family are working to create networks of support for those who are often alone.
