March Meeting

Please join me in welcoming Lisa Peterson, Chief Operational Officer at VICTA. She is a licensed mental health counselor, licensed chemical dependency professional, licensed chemical dependency counselor, and master addiction counselor. VICTA is a privately owned local outpatient addiction center in Providence offering assistance with substance abuse, mental health, and medicated assisted treatment.

Lisa will be talking about the overlap between chronic pain, addiction, and mental health. Studies show that 60-70% of chronic pain patients self-treat their pain with alcohol, cannabis, or non-prescribed opioids. Please join us to learn more about this and to have a compassionate, open discussion regarding self-medicating for pain.
