About Lets Talk Addiction

Let’s Talk Addiction was formed as a result of the increasing rise in substance use among the greater population. The aim of Let’s Talk Addiction is to educate and inform employees of corporate companies and the general public about the potential risks involved in substance use. We also aim to help lift the stigma and discrimination that’s associated with people who find themselves in addiction.
