Terrence breaks down how addiction treatment has evolved beyond outdated shame-based approaches toward evidence-based, culturally responsive methods. He examines how hip-hop both reflects the realities of substance misuse and sometimes glorifies drug culture, while offering insights on how the culture can be leveraged for healing.
The conversation tackles critical health disparities in treatment access, the impact of policy decisions on recovery resources, and practical solutions for community-based support. Terrence shares both personal perspectives and professional wisdom on building "recovery capital" - the relationships, knowledge, and resources needed for sustainable recovery.
Whether you're interested in cultural influences on health, addiction treatment evolution, or pathways to healing in underserved communities, this episode delivers essential perspectives on addressing one of our most pressing public health challenges through a culturally informed lens.
