Becki Setterholm Roberts attended the Unite Us event in Petersburg last week on behalf of Master Center and had a great time connecting with partners from across the region.

She had the opportunity to meet the Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Health, B. Cameron Webb, MD, JD.

Women have played a major role in addiction medicine and research throughout history. To honor their work, last year we spotlighted 5 important female figures in addiction medicine, research, and psychology.

Their efforts have led to some of the biggest organizations and behavioral health models we know of today, and we thank them for their contributions. Without these 5 women and countless more, addiction science wouldn't be what it is today.

We encourage you to learn more about some of these pioneers here: https://mastercenter.com/5-influential-women-in-addiction-medicine-and-research/

Yesterday, our Chief Medical Officer Dr. James Thompson and Chief Executive Officer Anna McKean were back on Virginia’s Capitol Hill, meeting with legislators to discuss substance use disorder and the latest advancements in evidence based treatment.

These conversations are critical. Policy decisions directly impact access to care, funding, and the ability for patients to receive timely, effective treatment in their communities. We are committed to ensuring lawmakers understand what modern outpatient addiction treatment looks like and how it supports long term recovery.

Rehab can feel like an isolating, personal experience, and it's common to push loved ones away during recovery. However, research shows that you should involve family and loved ones during rehab, and it can lead to greater recovery success.

Involving family while in rehab has numerous benefits, and we encourage taking the steps to include your loved ones in your journey.
