Together, they walk through the frontline battle against addiction in Mississippi. 


Dr. Hubanks shares the critical reality of today’s drug supply and how the Medications for Substance Use Disorder (MSUD) program is working to replace stigma with science-backed treatment. You’ll learn that recovery isn't just a "willpower" issue—it’s a medical journey that MSDH is equipped to support. 


We also tackle the moment everyone hopes they never face: a suspected overdose. We break down the life-saving steps you can take in those frantic minutes and explain how Naloxone is becoming a household essential that any Mississippian can—and should—carry.
