In Recovery
Lemonada Media
If you have a heart attack, you go to the hospital. Kid is sick? Call the pediatrician. So why do the rules change when it comes to addiction? When you or a loved one needs immediate help, it’s hard to know where to go or what to do. Start here. Join Dr. Nzinga Harrison, a physician board-certified in psychiatry and addiction medicine, who believes in a comprehensive, compassionate approach to treating addiction. Whether it’s heroin, pain pills, alcohol, meth, food, sex, or anything under the sun--it’s time to shift our thinking away from 28 days and onto recovery for life. From the creators of Last Day, this is your weekly go-to for any and all questions about addiction, treatment, mental health, recovery, and everything in between.

Listen to the last episode:
We're dropping in your feed today to share Dr. Nzinga's new show, Un-Addiction. Is addiction hereditary? Can stress or trauma cause addiction? Can I lead a fulfilling life after addiction?
In Un-Addiction, the podcast, Dr. Nzinga Harrison and her guests will answer these questions and more. Hear hopeful and inspiring stories from your favorite artists, authors, and changemakers as we un-learn what we think we know about addiction, undo the stigma around addiction and uncover the critical conversations necessary to take our lives back from addiction.
Dr. Nzinga Harrison is a board-certified psychiatrist with a specialty in addiction medicine, and co-founder of Eleanor Health, whose mission is to help those affected by addiction live amazing lives.
In this episode, Ed Popil, AKA Mrs. Kasha Davis, and Dr. Harrison discuss how stigma prevented Ed from finding support sooner in his journey and spirituality as a key role in Ed's recovery journey, allowing him to uncover a much-needed conversation with his father.
If you or a loved one are experiencing addiction, have questions about recovery, or need treatment tailored to you, visit eleanorhealth.com.
