CityStream Splash Back: Gabor mate 2/4/2010
Addictions have reached epidemic proportions in our country--an estimated 16 million Americans are dealing with some sort of addictive behavior whether it`s drugs, ALCOHOL, gambling, shopping, etc. Dr. Gabor Mate, author of a new book called " In The Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters With Addiction," deals with addiction. Penny LeGate sat down with Dr. Mate on his recent Seattle visit to talk about addictions and what City`s can do to help their residents dealing with addictions and homelessness. |
City Inside/Out Special Feature: Wet Housing 7/11/2009
It's a big societal challenge -- how to help chronically homeless ALCOHOLics. We take a look at a new study that endorses "wet housing" for the homeless. In fact, researchers at the University of Washington say one Seattle facility has saved taxpayers more than $4 million a year. The approach of allowing residents access to ALCOHOL in their rooms is pragmatic and non-judgmental, but it is not without its critics. We talk with study author, Professor Mary Larimer, and profile a resident at Plymouth on Stewart, which supports the "housing first" principle. We also hear from neighboring businesses and residents. |
