Daniel Anderson and David Sugg welcome Mississippi State Representative Sam Creekmore to Recovery Lab for a candid and forward looking conversation about mental health and addiction in Mississippi. Rep Creekmore shares what is actually happening with the state’s opioid settlement money, how it is being allocated, the priorities on prevention, treatment, recovery supports, and accountability, and where he believes the most impact can be made.

We also dive into his work exploring ibogaine as a potential tool in the recovery toolkit, why he believes Mississippi should consider innovative and evidence informed approaches, and the guardrails needed to keep people safe. Rep Creekmore opens up about his passion for supporting veterans and first responders, the barriers they face, and practical ways policy can meet them where they are.

If you care about bringing fresh thinking to the mental health and addiction crisis while honoring what already works, this episode is a grounded and hopeful look at how Mississippi can lead with compassion, data, and courage.

What you will hear:

  1. How opioid settlement dollars are being used across prevention, treatment, and recovery
  2. The case for evaluating ibogaine responsibly and what safeguards are essential
  3. Policies that can better serve veterans and first responders
  4. Why shaking off outdated thinking matters and how to build a more responsive system

Listen, share, and be part of the change.
