Dr. Bruce Figuered visits Good Morning San Diego

Jackson House CEO Dr. Bruce Figuered sits down with Good Morning San Diego to dissect the rise in drug addiction and overdoses in California. He believes that addiction is a three-part problem, with roadblocks to treatment that include deficiencies in resources, education, and legislation. Personal issues can also be at play, such as shame or embarrassment, or a diminished ability to make good decisions and act in one's own self interest that is caused by addiction. Dr. Figuered knows that treatment can only be successful if the patient wants to participate in their own care, and Jackson House focuses on providing a warm and welcoming environment for San Diegans to reclaim their lives.
