Holding Us Back from Naming & Treating Addiction: Muslim Barriers Study
Shownotes:
We have a BONUS episode for you this week! There’s explicit content so please be mindful of tiny ears within listening range.
Salah Abu Muna shares his research study that seeks to determine the need for Muslim-centered substance abuse recovery. He needs 10 more Muslim subjects by May 31st and it’s a paid study to boot! Twelve steps isn’t the only way; find out why! We pray this episode will get him the data set he needs to provide a critical resource to Muslim Americans in crisis. Ameen.
Hear about Salah’s personal experience with addiction, the near death experience that fueled his spiritual and physical recovery, as well as his passion for Addiction Studies. His will be the first of many surveys to inform the foundation for Muslim American substance abuse treatment insha’Allah.
