A discussion with AZPM reporter Jake Steinberg.

As part of Arizona Addicted, Arizona Public Media’s ongoing reporting series into the opioid epidemic, Jake Steinberg discussed some of the barriers to treatment and how they can make recovery difficult for people who rely on methadone to treat an addiction.
