Addiction is not a moral failure. It's a physiological and psychological illness. It's a chronic illness, and we can manage it with great success.

Through his own compelling story and professional insights, Dr. Loyd explains that addiction is a complex physiological and psychological condition that demands proper management and understanding, not judgment.

With a blend of science and empathy, he sheds light on effective treatment strategies and the promising future of opioid education. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking a compassionate, informed perspective on addiction.
