Addiction: Why It Happens and How to Prevent It

You are here: Home / Archive / Feature Stories / Addiction: Why It Happens and How to Prevent It
Published: March 1, 2015 by VPR Producer

Millions of Americans are addicted to alcohol and drugs, and many of them end up unemployed, broken away from their families and homeless. We talk to a psychologist about the causes of addiction, and why some people are more likely to fall to it than others, and find out how an author who is battling alcohol and drug addiction made his journey to sobriety, and the lessons he learned on the way.


Guest Information:

  • Ryan LaLumiere, psychologist, Assistant Professor in the Psychology Department, University of Iowa, and a specialist on addiction
  • Bob Allison, recovering addict, author of Saved by the Prince of Peace: Dungeon to Sky
