In an episode of CEOs You Should Know by iHeartMedia Chicago, Symetria Recovery CEO Masroor Ahmed sits down to talk about the opioid crisis, outpatient care, and the challenges in traditional approaches to addiction treatment.

Masroor breaks down the roots of the opioid epidemic, why addiction is a physical condition – not a moral failure, and how Symetria’s integrated outpatient model allows patients to get high-quality care without putting their jobs, families, or lives on hold.

He also shares what sets Symetria apart: patient-centered care where you set the goals, integrated psychiatry and medication management under one roof, and a team that will never give up on you.
