I feel like I owe society back, for you know, having you know gone through and putting people that put them through, but at the end of the day, you know it's all it's made me a better person and you know I can go to sleep at night and sleep while knowing that that's good.
Ever thought about how insurance policies might be making the addiction crisis worse? In this episode of 'The Addiction Podcast - Point of No Return', host Joanie Sigal dives into the murky waters of insurance coverage and its unintended consequences. She chats with experts who reveal how insurance companies often cover cheaper, addictive painkillers while ignoring safer, albeit more expensive, alternatives. This leaves many people stuck with drugs that can lead to dependency and long-term struggles.
The conversation doesn't stop there. The episode also sheds light on the broader impact of addiction on families and communities. You’ll hear about the importance of early intervention and some alternative rehab methods that could offer a way out for those trapped in the cycle of addiction. One particularly eye-opening segment discusses how a county in Ohio is tackling this issue head-on by providing innovative solutions to addicts in their jails.
If you’ve ever wondered why some people can’t seem to break free from addiction despite wanting to, this episode offers some eye-opening answers. It’s a must-listen for anyone affected by addiction, whether directly or indirectly, and for those curious about the systemic issues fueling this crisis.
