While there are many tools and resources available to people fighting addiction, there are just as many gaps and missing pieces in treatment programs.
Noah Levine not only has a firsthand understanding of these gaps, but has dedicated his life to filling them for other people.
Noah joins host Erica Spiegelman to discuss how his own journey made him see that there was a big gap in the use of mindfulness and meditation in recovery.
He shares his inspiring story and how he traveled “against the stream” to create meditation groups and meetings so that others in recovery could call upon these important resources while traveling their own recovery journeys.
