And yet this very, very focused health crisis has kind of brought about these policy interventions that people wouldn't think of otherwise.
Ever wondered how a global pandemic could shake up addiction policies and treatment options? This episode of Addiction Audio dives right into that question. Suzi chats with Dr. Rob Calder, the editor of Addiction News, to unpack the sweeping changes brought about by COVID-19. From the unexpected ban on alcohol sales in Sri Lanka, which led to a surge in illicit distilleries, to the use of wearables for monitoring patients at home, Calder sheds light on some eye-opening developments.
But that's not all. He also touches on the ongoing legal battles related to the opioid crisis and shares a wealth of research reports that link COVID-19 to addiction. Whether you're a researcher, clinician, or someone affected by addiction, this episode offers a treasure trove of information and fresh perspectives on how a health crisis can reshape addiction policies and treatments.
Tune in to hear how the pandemic has altered the landscape of addiction and what it means for the future.
