As the opioid crisis rages on in the U.S., a Phoenix-based company is hoping to change the way society views drug addiction. In our first episode of a new season of Traktion Talks we sit down with Nick Stavros, CEO of Community Medical Services, a leading provider of evidence-based, compassionate opioid addiction treatment. In our wide-raging conversation we talk with Nick about a number of issues, including:

• Why treating every individual holistically and with respect is so critical to successful outcomes.
• How they practice a philosophy of harm reduction, and why they believe it's the most effective way to achieve positive long-term results.
• What role the community plays in what they do, and how CMS has successfully addressed mis-perceptions about what they do.
• The rise of technology in healthcare, and how they've used it to add value for patients, and keep their staff focused on delivering the very best treatment possible.
• Where Nick sees CMS into the future, and what he'd like the company's legacy to be.
