Rethinking How America Treats Opioid Addiction

Cato Podcast

About this episode

People call methadone a life sentence, a ball and chain. Cato's Dr. Jeffrey Singer talks with Helen Redmond, author of "Liquid Handcuffs," about how a Nixon-era crime control program became America's dominant addiction treatment model, and why it needs to be abolished.
