About

A Cure For Addiction is a free weekly newsletter by Rosalie Genova, LCPC, CCS.

I'm a clinical counselor in solo practice on Wabanaki land in Portland, Maine. I worked in substance use treatment and recovery residences for ten years before leaving over creative differences in 2022. My clinical work is now all-voluntary and person-centered, and I am writing, teaching and organizing on a mission to transform substance use services.
