About Straight Talk
“Straight Talk with Mike Gimbel” is a nationally syndicated substance abuse awareness television program that airs in several markets and can be seen on the Straight Talk YouTube channel.
In each episode, Mike welcomes drug crisis experts and drug treatment professionals to dig into the variety of ways that people struggling with addiction can get help and regain their lives.
About the Host
Mike Gimbel has worked in substance abuse education, prevention, and treatment for nearly 40 years, and is currently the President of Mike Gimbel Associates, a national substance abuse consulting company based in Timonium, Maryland. Mike is often called upon by local, state, and national media as one of the nation’s most knowledgeable experts on substance abuse and addiction.
As a recovering addict with 47 years of sobriety, Mike has shared his powerful story of addiction, recovery, and redemption to teens and adults across the country.
In his previous positions as the “Drug Czar” for Baltimore County government and the Director of Substance Abuse for the Sheppard Pratt Health System, Mike has been awarded eight National Association of Counties Achievements Awards, the FBI Community Leadership Award, Commendations from the National Commission Against Drunk and Drugged Driving and a Congressional Achievement Award. Mike has also been presented with an Honorary Lifetime Membership by the National PTA Council.
Mike has served on the Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) national board of directors and was an advisor to the Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health’s International Fellowship Program on Drug Abuse.
In his spare time, Mike has completed 18 marathons including the Boston Marathon eight times.
This approach is gaining ground in the medical community, but it is, unfortunately, less common than it should be. Addiction specialists have been aware for decades that individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, and PTSD, just to name a few, are more likely to struggle with addiction. And treating the addiction without treating what is helping to fuel it makes relapse all the more likely.
Our dual diagnosis program is one of the most important things about Midwest Recovery Center. In many ways, it is the very heart of our programming.
