CONWAY — For a person with a substance use disorder, the hardest part can be saying aloud that they are in too deep and need help. One such person found herself in this very position and scheduled an appointment with Memorial Hospital’s Primary Care Comprehensive Addiction Medicine program. She was welcomed to her appointment, not by judgement as she feared, but by a friendly and empathetic certified medical assistant named Angie. Angelic Macut (Angie), a CMA with the program, sat down with the patient.
“She was, actively using (drugs). She wasn’t able to be honest with her family and was hiding her appointment from them.”
