The medical director of RecoveryWorks addiction center in Merrillville, Dr. Brent Jacobus, came on "Regionally Speaking" on Tuesday to talk about the center, its work and of his efforts -- both at the center and in his private medical practice -- to help those dealing with addiction. The Lake County Council recently honored Dr. Jacobus, in recognition of International Overdose Awareness Day coming up August 31st. Dr. Jacobus first talks about himself and how he got involved with the center.
