The Surgeon General Advisory calling attention to the public health crisis of loneliness, isolation, and lack of connection is really interesting because I don't think we've really talked about that a lot as a nation. And he talks about the connection of loneliness linking to certain health conditions, including increased risk for heart disease, stroke, dementia, and also premature death in general.
What were the most crucial developments in addiction medicine this year? Dr. Darlene Petersen and Dr. Paula Cook, the dynamic duo behind 'The Addiction Files', tackle this question head-on.

From the latest 2022 NSDUH data to the unsettling rise of xylazine and fentanyl, the hosts leave no stone unturned.
They also shed light on the impact of social isolation on alcohol consumption, a timely topic given our post-pandemic world. The episode doesn't stop there; it covers the Surgeon General's Advisory on loneliness and delves into the ASAM Stimulant Use Disorder Guidelines. Not to be missed is their discussion on the public health warning about fentanyl mixed with xylazine, a combination that's posing new challenges for healthcare providers.
The MATE Act's training requirements and exemptions are also on the agenda, making this episode a comprehensive review of the year's most significant issues in addiction medicine.
