As graduates of both our BSW & MSW programs at Union University, they highlight the faith-based support they received and contrast the therapeutic approach of recovery courts with traditional criminal justice. The conversation covers the challenges of addiction work, including overdoses and relapses, and celebrates the rewards of helping clients recover.
