If this were cancer or, let's say this was diabetes, you wouldn't expect to go to your doctor and the doctor would only tell you about those medications that they thought were legitimately appropriate. People would be outraged if a doctor did that with cancer or diabetes or asthma.
What if the key to overcoming addiction lies in a combination of medication and holistic support? In this compelling episode of 'Miracles in Recovery', host Ray Lynch sits down with Dr. Deni Carise, PhD, a renowned addiction expert with nearly 30 years of experience. Dr. Carise, who has consulted for the White House and worked internationally, shares her extensive knowledge on medication-assisted therapy (MAT) and its pivotal role in treating substance use disorders.
She demystifies the use of medications like Methadone, Buprenorphine, and Vivitrol, explaining how they can aid in the recovery process. Dr. Carise also tackles the stigma that often surrounds MAT, arguing that it should be viewed as a legitimate treatment option, much like medication for other chronic illnesses. She emphasizes the need for individualized treatment plans, acknowledging that what works for one person may not work for another.
The conversation delves into the opioid crisis and the necessity for comprehensive treatment options that include detox, residential, and outpatient care. Dr. Carise advocates for a holistic approach that combines counseling, peer support, and MAT to provide the best chance of recovery. This episode is a must-listen for anyone affected by addiction, offering valuable insights and practical advice on navigating the path to sobriety.
