If somebody is dependent on something, that means their body has come to need it and that it gives them a better quality of life.
Ever feel like you're drowning in jargon when it comes to addiction and recovery? You're not alone. In this episode of Better Life in Recovery, host David Stoecker takes on the tough task of demystifying some of the most misunderstood terms in the addiction world. From clarifying the difference between addiction and dependence to explaining why we're dealing with a syndemic rather than just an opioid epidemic, Stoecker breaks it all down in a way that's easy to grasp.
He doesn't just stop there; he also tackles the stigmatizing language that often surrounds substance use disorders and pushes for more compassionate conversations around chronic pain management. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just curious about these topics, this episode offers a fresh perspective that will leave you more informed and empathetic. Tune in for a dose of clarity and understanding that could make all the difference in your journey or that of a loved one.
