Rethinking Addiction: Treatment, Justice, and What Actually Works - Dr. Stephen Loyd Part 1

In the second half of America’s News Hour, Bill Bernardoni is joined by Dr. Stephen Loyd of Reach United for a powerful conversation on addiction, recovery, and why America’s approach hasn’t meaningfully changed in decades. From individualized treatment models and opioid settlement spending to the critical role of law enforcement and the courts, this discussion explores what actually moves the needle — and why compassion, accountability, and evidence-based care must work together.

Should addiction be treated primarily as a public health issue, a criminal justice issue — or both working together? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
