There are little practices out there that just admit. Now you get a hospitalist to admit you and he makes decisions based on whatever the hospital itself tells him.
Ever felt like the road to alcohol detox is riddled with obstacles? In this episode of 'Recovery (Sort Of)', hosts Billy and Jason, along with guest Charlie, tackle the frustrating realities of accessing treatment for alcohol use disorder. They peel back the layers of a system driven by profit, money, and capitalism, making it tough for those in need to get the help they deserve.
Charlie shares his own battle with finding a detox program, revealing how financial interests often overshadow patient care. Billy and Jason chime in with their own harrowing experiences, from being left waiting for hours to dealing with inadequate facilities. The trio doesn't shy away from discussing the dire consequences of untreated alcohol withdrawal, which can be life-threatening.
They also highlight the lack of funding and resources dedicated to alcohol treatment, painting a grim picture of a healthcare system that prioritizes profit over people. Throughout the episode, they stress the importance of raising awareness and advocating for better funding and resources. If you or someone you care about is struggling with alcohol use disorder, this episode offers a candid look at the challenges and a call to action for change.
It's a raw, eye-opening conversation that underscores the urgent need for systemic reform.
