On the point, a discussion about reducing rates of relapse in addiction recovery. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, relapse rates in addiction are similar to other chronic diseases -- between 40 and 60 percent of patients will relapse in the first year of recovery. But research has shown the longer you stay clean, the better your chances are for remaining clean. We hear about a pilot program at the Gosnold treatment center exploring the use of recovery coaches to help reduce relapse once in-patient treatment is complete. In-studio guests are Ray Tamasi, President and CEO of Gosnold on Cape Cod, Laurie McCarthy, Outreach Coordinator at Gosnold, Kristoff Pydynkowski, Recovery Coach at Gosnold, and Megan Ramsey and Jeremy Wurzburg, clients at Gosnold.
