Angela Galka - MPH of the University of Michigan Addiction Center Recommended Articles for Addiction

Washtenaw FAN would like to thank Angela Galka, MPH, of the University of Michigan Addiction Center - Michigan Medicine umadditioncenter.org for the following articles on how relapse rates for addiction resemble those of other chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension and asthma.  The bar graphs in these two articles are particularly interesting as they tell a positive story that addiction can be managed successfully.  Unfortunately, when relapse occurs many deem treatment a failure ...this is not the case.
