As Bill White’s page has moved, I updated all the links, fixed typos and placed all of the interviews available as PDFs as well as hyperlinked to the Recovery Review page. Also, I am pleased to note that the training I developed based on this body of work has been academically vetted and is available through the Opioid Response Network in all 50 states and territories.
