In honor of the month of May being Stroke Awareness Month, Vinland National Center’s Mental Health Program Supervisor, Melissa Petoletti, wrote the below article on the subject for us to share.
Vinland often has stroke survivors attending substance use disorder treatment at both our residential (Loretto, MN) and outpatient (Minneapolis, MN ) treatment locations, so our clinicians and nurses have plenty of experience in this realm. Though, as with traumatic brain injuries (TBI’s), it’s important to recognize that each stroke has very individual consequences.
